Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday asserted that the action against the corrupt will go on and he cannot be deterred by threats and abuses.Beginning his Lok Sabha campaign in Uttarakhand from Rudrapur in Udham Singh Nagar district, he also said that more development work has been done in Uttarakhand over the last 10 years than in the 50-60 years before that."Don't you think the corrupt should go to jail. The corrupt are threatening and abusing me. But they can't deter me. Action against each one of the corrupt will continue," Modi said.The prime minister's remarks come amid opposition onslaught against the ruling party in the wake of arrest of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and JMM leader Hemant Soren.Asking people to further strengthen him, Modi said he has guaranteed making India the third biggest economy in the world in the third term.Hitting out at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said the "prince" of the Opposition party's "royal family" has declared that the country will be on fire if the BJP returns to power. "They ruled the country for 60 years, but after just 10 years out of power, they are talking about setting the country on fire."Questioning if this is a "language of democracy", he asked the people if they would "punish such people". "Chun chun ke saaf kar do, is bar inko maidan mein mat rehne do (pick them one by one and remove them from the arena)," he said. He said the Congress, with its "Emergency mindset", no longer believes in democracy. "That's why they are busy instigating people against the mandate," the Prime Minister said.
