Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's ministers and MPs are entering the well and not allowing Parliament to function. Congress used to put dust in people's eyes, now it is putting chillies in the eyes of people: Modi

Congress is the mother of all corruption. Corruption and Congress are twin sisters. So long as people get not rid of Congress, the nation cannot be rid of corruption: Modi
