Chowkidar

She directed the DCs to create awareness among the people about social distancing and rope in NGOs, volunteers, village sarpanch, nambardar and chowkidar in this work.

After PM Modi changed his name, other leaders such as Amit Shah, Piyush Goyal, Smriti Irani and BJP's social media head Amit Malviya added the word 'Chowkidar' to their names.

Gandhi has been raising the “Chowkidar Chor Hai” (Watchman is a thief) slogan to target the PM whom he accuses of being cosy with select businessmen.

He has been saying chowkidar chor hai – watchman is a thief.

He is indeed a chowkidar but not of the poor, he has done chowkidari of Anil Ambani, Nirav Modi and others.

He often targetted the Prime Minister with his “chowkidar chor hai” jibe over the purchase of Rafale jets.

It says voters must take stock of the claim being made by the of being the chowkidar.

On March 30, addressing a rally at Dibrugarh’s Moran, PM said, “They (the Congress) don’t just hate the chowkidar but are also irritated with the chaiwallah.

The Congress chief has been repeatedly using the “chowkidar chor hai” (watchman is a thief) jibe to target Modi whom he accuses of indulging in crony capitalism and highlight alleged irregularities in the Rafale fighter jet deal.

The country’s Chowkidar, he said too many times, was a ‘chor’.

Tiwari said Modi has received support from people which is evident by around 17 crore impressions and 30 lakh tweets related to ‘Main Bhi Chowkidar’ hashtag.

After coming out of the police station, Rahul reiterated his lines on the Rafale row — that Modi put crores in Anil Ambani’s pocket and that “the chowkidar removed the CBI director out of fear”.

It is only that he is a friend of the chowkidar,” he said.

Policemen or other government officers visiting the village, at any hour, ask for the chowkidar first.
