PM Modi today stressed the importance of state funding to the elections in the near future. Addressing the issue of donations to political parties at a \u2018Parivartan rally\u2019 in poll-bound Uttar Pradesh, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that it is the responsibility of parties to set examples of non-corrupt practices.<\/p>\n

Once again endorsing simultaneous elections in different states, Modi appealed to the Election Commission to start a dialogue on the issue.<\/p>\n

\u201cDue to continuous elections, much time is wasted which can be used in development activities. I urge the EC to start a dialogue on this,\u201d the Prime Minister said in Kanpur.<\/p>\n

\u201cI said in the all party meet held before the winter session that we must have discussion on donations given to political parties and holding of elections,\u201d Modi said.<\/p>\n

\"Modi<\/p>\n

\u201cI requested in the all party meet that discussion on how political parties get funds should take place in the Parliament,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Attacking the Opposition on demonetisation, he said that while the government wanted to put an end to black money, the Opposition wanted to stop Parliament from functioning.<\/p>\n

For the first time in the history of India, some parliamentarians are creating ruckus in Parliament to help the corrupt, Modi claimed.<\/p>\n

Even those who run municipalities behave in a more civilised manner, he claimed.<\/p>\n

Providing a unique rationale for Rs 100 notes, the PM asserted that their value had increased after demonetisation of Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen there was a Rs 1000 note, nobody cared for Rs 500 and Rs 100. Now the value of Rs 100 is being seen,\u201d he asserted.<\/p>\n

Attacking the Congress for its opposition to digital economy, Modi said it is the grand old party which praises Rajiv Gandhi for bringing computerization to India.<\/p>\n

\"Modi<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I ask people to use mobile phones for banking, Congress asks who owns mobile phones? How much will they lie?,\u201d Modi asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, we are using technology to track those who have stashed black money. We are vigilant and raids are being conducted country wide,\u201d the PM asserted.<\/p>\n

The Prime Minister said that the government would fight against those who bribe bank officials to convert large sums of demonetised notes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
