Bengaluru, November 10: “My statement that ‘time has come to burn Prime Minister Modi alive’ should not be read too much into it, because, I have just quoted the statement what Modi had said”, former minister TB Jayachandra clarified.

“I have great respect towards Prime Minister Modi. While promising on bringing black money after demonetisation, Modi had said ‘give me 50 days time. If I failed in it, burn me alive’. I have just mentioned his statement”, he said.

Two years have passed after demonitisation. Around 99.3 per cent of money was credited into the RBI. As per Modi’s assurance, the government has not credited Rs 10-15 lakh into the accounts of each Indian. He has expressed the pains of common people at Tumkur. Apart from it, he has no intention of hurting anyone or has no wicked purpose in his statement, he clarified.
