PM Narendra Modi hints at crackdown on benami properties
Prime Minister Narendra Modi today hinted at a crackdown on 'benami' properties, and said the Congress is worried as such assets of its leaders will not be spared in his government's action.
Launching a stinging attack on the opposition party over corruption at an election rally in Sundernagar, Modi said the Congress' campaign againstdemonetisation was driven by its attempts to mislead the people and create an atmosphere against him before he can raise a "storm" over benami assets.
"The time has come to return to the poor what had been robbed of them.... I am going to create a situation that they (Congress leaders) would not be able to reclaim their benami assets," he said.

Heaping scorn on the Congress over its decision to observe the first anniversary of demonetisation on November 8 as black day, he said it was actually "blackmoney day" for the opposition party.
While addressing rallies in the poll-bound state, Modi said the Congress would burn his effigies on November 8 because his sin was that he was fighting corruption.
