Govt can't use IB, CBI or RAW to silence me: Modi in Mumbai

Narendra Modi was welcomed by a sea of supporters and he promised them that no matter what the government did, it would not be able to stop him. “The government in Delhi wants to stop our march to  power. They have fielded the CBI to threaten us. CBI can  silence Mulayam Singh Yadav and Mayawati but not me,” he  said addressing BJP supporters at the airport here. “They (the Centre) have been trying to instill fear of CBI (in  me) every now and then. I will never be cowed down by CBI, IB RAW or any agency in the world,” Modi said. Amid repeated chants of “Modi! Modi”, the Gujarat chief minister said the large crowd gathered to receive him would make the government in Delhi “jittery”. “They (the Centre) know that those who are with the people in their good and bad times would form their government at the Centre. Now the crowd here will make them feel even more jittery,” he said. “The prime minister is in America but people don’t have confidence that his visit will have any benefits for the country,” he said. “I am in the land of Chhatrapati Shivaji. I want this land to bless me so I can serve the people, those exploited, those deprived, well. I want this land to bless me so I do no wrong,” he said.

People here don’t have time for themselves. So I am happy to see that so many people have turned up to see me,” Modi told his supporters.
