"There will be zero tolerance on this issue," Modi said, his voice a little hoarse from the many election speeches he has been giving all over the country. "If I have to summarize our manifesto in two words, I will say: good governance and development," he said.

On the manifesto, Modi said: "This is not an election ritual. It is not just a document. It reveals our party's direction, our aim."
