Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Sunday, March 17 slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his election campaign “Main bhi chowkidar” (I am also a watchman). He underlined that every Indian is saying “Chowkidar chor hai” (the watchman is a thief), referring to Modi.
In a tweet, Gandhi said:
You can keep trying Mr Modi, but the truth cannot be extinguished.
Every Indian is saying it. #ChowkidarChorHai
P.S: Do force Sushma ji to add “Chowkidar” to her handle. It’s looking very bad.

On Saturday, after Modi started the campaign, Gandhi asked:
Defensive tweet Mr Modi!

On several occasions in the last few months, Gandhi highlighted how Modi who calls himself “chowkidar” helped rich industrialists like Anil Ambani. He has also rejected the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) report on the Rafale deal and dubbed it the “Chowkidar Auditor General” report.
NoMo anti corruption clause. The Chowkidar himself opened the door to allow Anil Ambani to steal 30,000 Cr. from the IAF. https://t.co/Sp3aU4KNRV
