Hardoi/Etah (Uttar Pradesh), April 21 (IANS) BJP leader Narendra Modi Monday said in Hardoi all corrupt leaders in the country would have to face trial if he is voted to power in the Lok Sabha elections.
Speaking at an election meeting, the Gujarat chief minister said if the BJP forms the government, he would ensure that politicians involved in graft are put behind bars.
"I will not spare anyone who is corrupt or has a criminal background," he told the gathering, which roared in approval.
He added he will ask the Supreme Court to fast track cases against corrupt public representatives and urged the voters to go for clean politics.
At another rally in Etah, Modi replied to Rural Development Minister Jairam Ramesh who Sunday said there was no Modi wave in the country and only Modi poison.
"I accept the allegations but the venom is for the thieves and for the corrupt politicians just to destroy them. This venom will only bring purification," Modi said.
In Hardoi, blaming the Congress for many ills plaguing the country, the BJP's prime ministerial candidate took a dig at Sonia and Rahul Gandhi, saying the mother-son duo has destroyed India.
Adding that Samajwadi Party supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav and his son and state chief minister Akhilesh were out to destroy Uttar Pradesh, he urged the people to send as many BJP candidates to the Lok Sabha as they can.
"Delhi mein baithi hai maa-bete ki sarkaar aur rajya mein baap-bete ki sarkar, aur dono hi kar rahe hain satyanaash (The mother-son government in Delhi and father-son regime in the state are spelling disaster)," Modi said at the public rally in Hardoi.
He also rued the growing lawlessness in Uttar Pradesh and said it is a sad thing that people in the state have more arms than the police.
