 "I am waging a war against corruption," Modi said.  The most affected and excited are the leaders of the Congress party.  They can't stand it and are threatening me.  He said they should have been discussing evolution, instead they were discussing snakes and their venom.
 "I'm not sad about it," the PM said.  The snake remains like an ornament on the neck of Lord Shiva.  I have found Lord Shiva in the people of this country.  "I am happy to be a snake on your (people's) neck," he said, slamming the Congress.  You are like Shiva to me.  Please bless me on May 10th to keep the leaders talking about it away.  Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge had described PM Modi as a poisonous snake.
