New Delhi, Mar 18: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday (Mar 18) hit back at Rahul Gandhi over his Shakti remark and said that he is willing to sacrifice his life for 'Shakti.' Addressing a rally in Jagtial, Prime Minister said that it was an honour for him that Nari Shakti has gathered to bless and support him.
"There is a word 'Shakti' in Hinduism.We are fighting against a Shakti. The question is, what is that 'Shakti' and what does it entail for us? The soul and integrity of EVMs have been traded to the King (Modi). This is a fact. Not just EVMs but every autonomous institution of the country, be it the ED, CBI or Income Tax department, have traded their spines to the Centre." - Rahul Gandhi, Congress leader

The Prime Minister said that on the one hand there are people, who talk about the destruction of power while on the other hand there are people who worship Shakti.
“"The INDI Alliance in their manifesto said that their fight is against 'Shakti'. For me, every mother, daughter and sister is a form of 'Shakti'. I worship them in the form of Shakti. I am the worshipper of Bharat Mata. Their manifesto is to finish Shakti...and I accept the challenge. 'Main jaan ki baazi laga dunga.'" - Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India
He further said that his government dedicated the success of the Chandrayaan mission by naming the point where Chandrayaan landed as 'Shiv Shakti'.
