In his rally at Moradabad on Saturday, Modi said he was being targeted for cracking down on those with black money.

“I am being hounded as if I have committed some crime by waging a battle against graft. But, what can my opponents do to me? I am a fakir (hermit)...jhola ley kar chaley jayenge (I will exit with the few belongings I have),” Modi said.

In another tweet, he accused Modi of killing institutions and said what the country has achieved in 65 years will be undone by him in next five years.
