Prime Minister Narendra Modi said here on Sunday that Opposition parties were coming together over fear of getting caught for corruption. Modi said the Centre's action against corruption has created a fear in the minds of people all across the country. All those who used to make money from government contracts are facing the music now, which is they were all coming together to remove "this watchman", he said a public rally in a reference to himself.
