Saharanpur: When Prime Minister Narendra Modi speaks, he minces no words. It was no exception on Thursday when he targeted the opposition, saying while the nation was changing fast the mentality of some people was not.

Addressing a massive rally at Saharanpur in Uttar Pradesh to mark two years of his government at the Centre, Modi said he wanted a "qualitative change" in the lives of people and had come to the rally to submit the "hisaab-kitaab" (accounts) of his government.

The prime minister slammed the previous United Progressive Alliance government at the Centre for "looting" the public's money while being in power. "When I became the prime minister, I was shocked to find out that the previous government had looted every bit of public money. Do people come to power to loot pubic funds?" Modi asked. He also said that during the two years of the National Democratic Alliance government there has been no case of graft. "I have taken it upon myself to end the corruption in the country. There has been no case of corruption against our government in the last two years. Even our opponents could not raise fingers at us," Modi said.
