Live: I have sold tea, but I never sold my country, says Modi at Hardoi(UP) rally

11:23 am: Modi: You do not have to fear these rogues. I want to tell you all my intention. I don't care about winning or losing elections.

But I have taken a resolution, that after 16th May,   when the government is formed I will get the nominations papers and compile a list of all the defaulters. I will have all those ministers put behind the bars who have a criminal case against them. I won't even spare MPs and MLAs of BJP.

11:20 am: Modi: Our nation has been destroyed by mother and son's government and UP has been destroyed by father and son's government. When bhainji's government comes to power, they harass father and son duo. And when the latter comes to power, the duo harasses bhainji's party. Congress on the other hand adds fuel to the fire.

11:19 am: Modi: How can they understand their sentiments? I have endured poverty. I know what it feels to lie in the open air in winters. I can still feel the sting of slaps I used to get while selling tea. I understand the humiliation.

11:18: Modi: For him poor people are for tourism. In order to get good pictures, he lifts a poor child in his lap and also consumes their food.
