"Prime Minister Narendra Modi helped in eradicating corruption from India and hence we need to ensure that we help him come as PM again," she added.BJP state President Madan Lal Saini, who was also present, accused Congress of trying to "throttle democracy" during the Emergency (1975-77) and "torturing" various sections of people.
