Continuing his criticism against the Congress-led UPA government, Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi Monday said that corruption has destroyed the dignity of the Prime Minister's post.

"Widespread corruption has destroyed the dignity of the Prime Minister's post since people below him have begun indulging in more corruption," Modi said, at a function in Modasa, organised to felicitate him for carving out Aravalli as a separate district from Sabarkantha district on August 15.

Reminding about the Nav Nirman Andolan, a 1974 youth movement against corruption, Modi appealed the crowd to show the same zeal now and free the country from corrupt rulers.

"If we all move ahead after being inspired by the Nav Nirman Andolan, we will automatically bring change and free our country from its present corrupt rulers," Modi said.
