'Dr Singh, do you feel anything for your brothers?'
Modi also appeared to strike an emotional chord with the voters, saying, "I had a debt to clear and hence I am here. When the earthquake rocked Gujarat, we had no one. Hans Raj Hans was in the US going about on the streets asking for a dollar each from the public. He then sent the money to us. I will never forget that."

Speaking about internal security Modi said Nepal is becoming a corridor for Pakistan's Inter Services Intelligence. "A Hindu nation is under threat and our government is doing nothing," the Gujarat chief minister alleged.

"Sikhs in Pakistan are being tortured by the Taliban. Dr Singh, you are a Sardar. Don't you feel anything for your brothers? When we asked you this you said you wrote a letter. Is this what we want or do we need strong action?" Modi said taking yet another swipe at the PM.

"There is a need for a strong government and never before have we felt the need for a really strong government as we are feeling this time," Modi said.
