Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday took a veiled dig at Congress leader P Chidambaram and also referred to arrests in bank fraud cases and said the government has undertaken a cleanliness drive in which more steps will be taken. Addressing an election rally here, Modi accused the Congress-led UPA government of causing severe damage to the economy and the banking system.

Modi apparently referred to Chidambaram, who held the finance portfolio during the UPA rule and was arrested by Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Wednesday in the INX Media money laundering case after 55 days of judicial custody. He also referred to the accused in the bank fraud cases.
