Chowkidar Chor Hai ({{lang-hi|चौकीदार चोर है।}}, {{trans|"The watchman is a thief"}}) is a Hindi slogan used by the Indian National Congress in its campaign for the 2019 Indian general election. The slogan was coined by the Congress' Prime Ministerial candidate Rahul Gandhi as a counter slogan against the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)' sitting Prime Minister Narendra Modi, with the intention of conveying that the person who was entrusted with safeguarding public money was in fact a thief.

Background

Narendra Modi has often referred to himself as a "chowkidar" (watchman) inferring that he would not allow any corruption in the country.[1] While campaigning for the 2014 Indian general election Modi in his speeches had promised that he would serve the country, not as a Prime Minister, but as a watchman. Modi further added that as a watchman he would never allow anyone to put his paws on the public money.[1] Rahul Gandhi had referred to Modi as Chowkidar during his campaign for the 2017 Gujarat Legislative Assembly election.[2]

Slogan

The slogan "Chowkidar Chor Hai" was coined by Rahul Gandhi, the Congress' Prime Ministerial candidate as a jibe against Narendra Modi, BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate for the 2019 Indian general election.[3] The Hindi slogan translates to "The watchman is a thief."[5] It was aimed at Modi in relation to the alleged irregularities and favouritism in awarding of the contracts related to the Rafale fighter jet deal.[1][4] On 14 December, Gandhi stated that Chowkidar chor hai and his party will prove the corruption that was done in the Rafale deal.[5] The government has denied any wrongdoing in the Rafale deal and the case is being heard by the Supreme Court of India.[6] Rahul Gandhi in one of his rallies compared it with BJP's 2014 Indian general election slogan "Achhe din aane waale hain" by stating slogan "Achhe din aayenge" has now changed to "Chowkidar chor hai".[7] Later in Nagpur, Gandhi stated that an enquiry will be done after that election post which, "the Chowkidar will go to jail".[8]

On 20 November Rahul Gandhi commented that a crime thriller titled "Chowkidar hi chor hai" is being played out in Delhi and in its most recent episode, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Deputy inspector general of police, Manoj Sinha had made allegations of corruption against senior government officials in his affidavit to the Supreme Court, meanwhile his "partner from Gujarat" was amassing enormous wealth.[9] Sinha had stated that government officials and ministers were interfering in the investigation against CBI special director Rakesh Asthana.[9]

On 24 December 2018, Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray while addressing a rally in Maharashtra state's Pandharpur town, repeated the slogan "Chowkidar chor hai". He elaborated the slogan with a story about a farmer whose Neem plants were attacked by the pests. This was unusual because Neem tree extracts are traditionally used in India for repelling the pests. Thackeray then stated that "this is what is happening everywhere and even those, tasked with protection, are stealing these days."[3]

On 25 March, the slogan Chowkidar chor hai was raised by the audience during the fourth cricket match of IPL 2019 at Jaipur.[10]

Response

On 18 November 2018, during a BJP election rally in Chhindwara, Madhya Pradesh, responding to the repeated chowkidar chor hai slogan against him, Modi stated that the "Naamdaar" (dynast) and the congress party were hurling abuses at him.[11]

Main Bhi Chowkidar

On 14 March 2018, Modi responded to the jibe by launching a campaign with the slogan "Main Bhi Chowkidar" ({{lang-hi|मैं भी चोकीदार।}}, {{trans|"I too am a watchman"}}) for his supporters, implying that everyone is a fighter against corruption and social evils.[12][4] Modi even changed the name of his official twitter handle titled 'Narendra Modi' to 'Chowkidar Narendra Modi'.[13]

In a coordinated campaign, ministers, party president Amit Shah and other BJP leaders such as Piyush Goyal changed their twitter profile names by adding a prefix "Chowkidar".[14] Many supporters of BJP also changed their names accordingly.[15] Modi addressed a large group of watchmen on audio link as part of the campaign.[16]

Congress party criticized BJP's election slogan with Rahul Gandhi stating that the truth cannot change since Chowkidar Chor Hai. The chief spokesperson of Congress, Randeep Surjewala responded to Modi's slogan and accused Modi of being the "only chowkidar who is a thief".[17] Congress social media team responded with the slogan "Main Bhi Berozgar" (I too am jobless) to highlight the problem of unemployment under the Modi government and to counter Main Bhi Chowkidar campaign.[18]

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal stated that Modi wants the entire country to become 'chowkidar' , people who want their children to become watchmen should vote for Modi while those looking for good education for the children to become doctor, engineer or lawyer should vote for AAP.[19]
