Expressing confidence that vibrant professionals especially youngster will facilitate 'Main Bhi Chowkidar' campaign with their presence, Prime Minister said, "These professionals energise and strengthen India. It is their&nbsp;hardwork&nbsp;that is powering the rise of a New India in the 21st century."

'Main Bhi Chowkidar' campaign was launched on March 16 by Prime Minister Modi. A day after the launch, the Prime Minister, as well as a number of BJP leaders across the country, added the prefix ‘chowkidar’ to their Twitter handles as a mark of support to the poll campaign.

On March 20, Prime Minister Modi had addressed over 25 lakh chowkidars from across the country via audio conference. He also launched a scathing attack on the opposition party’s 'Chowkidar Chor Hai' campaign.

The origin of the word 'chowkidar' dates back to the poll campaigning ahead of the 2014 general elections when Modi had promised to work as a 'chowkidar' to guard the people's money and their trust once elected to the top office.&nbsp;

'Main Bhi Chowkidar’ has been started after extensive surveys and data analysis by BJP strategists who feel that Congress president Rahul Gandhi’s 'chowkidar chor hai’ jibe and campaign is not resonating among people. The surveys also suggested that it is actually angering people in the country, according to a release.

A similar strategy was adopted by the BJP ahead of the 2014 general elections, wherein the party turned around senior Congress leader Manishankar Aiyar’s "chaiwallah" jibe into a mass campaign.

This campaign is expected to drive the narrative of the Prime Minister’s strong and decisive image which multiple surveys have conveyed is the main factor in the upcoming elections, the release mentioned.

Under the aegis of this campaign, the BJP has leveraged a tech innovation called conversation cards on Twitter, whereby people will get a personalized message from the Prime Minister on Twitter on participating in this campaign.

'Main Bhi Chowkidar’ campaign: PM Modi addresses nation from Talkatora Stadium

Prime Minister Narendra Modi said Sunday that he was able to take the decision to order the <a href="https://www.wionews.com/opinions/with-balakot-airstrike-narendra-modi-government-has-evolved-new-security-doctrine-204805">Balakot air strikes</a> because he had faith in the country defence forces.&nbsp;Modi was speaking at Delhi's Talkatora stadium at a "Main Bhi Chowkidar" event.&nbsp;

After his opening speech, Modi took questions from his audience in Delhi and around the country (via video link).&nbsp;

The second question asked of Modi had been about Balakot.

His questioner asked him how he had been able to take the decision to carry out an air strike on enemy territory and, while reaching that decision, had he ever thought about his political future? What if something had gone wrong?&nbsp;

Modi answered that he was able to take the decision because he had faith in the country's defence forces. And that he knew they would never do anything to shame the country.&nbsp;

"I had faith in their discipline," Modi said.&nbsp;

He added that the country's security forces fight terrorists every day. "Switch on the TV, and you will see," Modi said.&nbsp;

"Where do the terrorists come from?" Modi asked. "Everybody knows.&nbsp;

"They came to Mumbai, they came to Uri...&nbsp;

"Where is the remote control? Everybody knows."&nbsp;

But Modi said, he asked himself "How long will this go on for?"&nbsp;

And that that was when he decided that "this game" would be played where the remote control is, not on Indian territory. &nbsp;

Modi added that the air strike had been carried out by country's&nbsp;jawans, not by him, and that he saluted them.&nbsp;

As for his political future, Modi said that if he had thought about that — "there would never have been a Modi".

The next question asked of Modi had been about corruption.&nbsp;

Prime Minister Narendra Modi held his second Pariksha pe Charcha on Tuesday. Like the year before, the event was conducted at Delhi's Talkatora stadium.&nbsp;

The event is meant to be a stress buster for students about to appear for their annual examinations.&nbsp;

On Tuesday, students from around the country asked the prime minister a number of exam- and life-related questions. How, sir, are you still so energetic? Please guide me towards getting a better job...&nbsp;

And that most important question of all, one that every student has at some point of time in his or her young life asked: Are examinations really good for you, or are they a hindrance to your all-round development?&nbsp;

"Challenges are important in life," Prime Minister Modi said. "Don't curse them. You should instead think of a challenge as an opportunity."&nbsp;

Modi went on to give the example of a person who wishes to compete at the Olympics, asking how he can if he has not played at the district, state and national level first?&nbsp;

Exams are important, Modi said, but they are not the be all and end all of life.&nbsp;

Modi added that it was important for children to have healthy conversations with parents.&nbsp;

But he added that "parents who try to impose their unfulfilled wishes on their kids are a failure, they must try to recognise the potential in their children. As far as expectations are concerned, we also feel like working hard when there are expectations."&nbsp;

Congress President Rahul Gandhi launched his "Save the Constitution" campaign on Monday.&nbsp;

The campaign, launched from Delhi's Talkatora stadium, is meant to highlight the plight of the Dalits in the country.&nbsp;

As expected, Rahul launched a broadside against PM Modi and his government at Talkatora.&nbsp;

"Just give me 15 minutess with Modiji. I will talk about Rafale and Nirav Modi and Modiii won't be able to stand. Everyone knows that Rafale is a corrupt deal and how Nirav Modi took away 30,000 crore and ran away, and how his friend is keeping silent."&nbsp;

"The Constitution saves our rights. The institutions in our country, whether it is EC, Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha, Vidhan Sabha, IIT, IIM have been given to us by our constitution. Without the Constitution, nothing was possible," Rahul added.&nbsp;

"Modiji doesn't want anyone from his party to speak. He just want to do his Mann ki Baat," Rahul said. Adding, "An eight-year-old girl gets raped, a girl is raped in Unnao, but Modiji keeps silent about his MLA."&nbsp;

"India knows PM Modi has interest in just one thing, and it is PM Modiji," Rahul said.&nbsp;

He continued his attack, saying, "PM Modiji will come up with a new slogan. New slogan will be just 'Beti Bachao', beti padhao bhool jao. &nbsp;And who do the girls needs to be saved from... from BJP MLAs."

"India's reputation around the world has been destroyed by Modiji. &nbsp;Rapes, attrocities against Dalits, attacks on minorities is why India is now being talked about. The Congress built India's reputation in 70 years and Modiji has destroyed that reputation in four years."

"We defend the press. Even if you attack us, we defend you and this is the <a href="http://www.wionews.com/india-news/dont-give-the-media-too-much-masala-pm-modi-advices-party-members--132079">difference between them and us</a>. Congress belongs to the weaker section, women, shopkeepers," Rahul continued.&nbsp;

"The Congress party gave India its constitution and protected it. BJP and RSS people won't be able to touch the contitution ever. We won't let it happen and in the upcoming elections, people will tell Narendra Modji their Mann ki Baat."&nbsp;
