The BJP claimed on Wednesday that Prime Minister Narendra Modi interacted with more than 2.5 million security guards across the country as part of the party’s campaign against the Opposition’s barb —‘ chowkidar chor hai ’.

During his interaction, Modi said Congress president Rahul Gandhi insulted guards and added that the word ‘ chowkidar ’ has become synonymous with patriotism and honesty.

Modi has often said in his public interactions that he is a chowkidar of the country. Citing the Rafale scam and other scams such as the PNB scandal, the Congress had started using the slogan — chowkidar chor hai — against Modi. He said that his opponents do not have the courage to attack him directly, and therefore targeting the security guards. The BJP had launched a counter campaign “ Main bhi chowkidar ” (I too am watchman) on social media platforms against the Congress.
