Modi said like MPs and MLAs the the cleaning process would continue in the lower ranks as well. "After MPs and MLAs, the same process will be applied at the bottom, such as panchayats. It is my promise that I will free the system from criminals within five years," he added.
He also said that he promises that no discrimination or favouritism will be done in this cleaning process, even if that leader belongs to his party.
Modi, who kept a bust of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar (whose 123rd birth anniversary was celebrated today) close to him during his speech, accused the Congress of ignoring the architect of the Indian Constitution.
"Three leaders of the Gandhi-Nehru family received Bharat Ratna award, but Dr Ambedkar was never conferred the highest honour. After 40 years of his death, the government supported by BJP awarded him with the Bharat Ratna. Congress was not even ready to put up his photograph in the Parliament," Modi alleged.
