PANJIM: Asserting that the nation has elected him to fight corruption and questioned if he should not do it, Prime Minister Narendra Modi turned emotional on Sunday saying that he left his home and family for the nation.
The prime minister, who was speaking for the first time on demonetisation after announcing the decision on November 8, also used the occasion to hit back at those questioning his ‘bold and effective step’ to combat corruption and menace of black money.
Silencing his critics, the prime minister said that his decision was not a display of arrogance but aimed at fulfilling the commitments made to the nation.
“I was not born for sit on a chair of high office. Whatever I had, my family, my home…I left it for the nation,” Modi said with tears in his eyes.
