New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Monday, took a dig at Congress president's son-in-law Robert Vadra while stressing that the NDA has provided graft-free governance.

Addressing the Indian community at the packed SAP Centre in San Jose, California, Modi said, "In our country it doesn't take much for allegations to come up against politicians... Someone made 50 crores, someone's son made 250 crores, (someone's) daughter made 500 crores, (someone's) damaad (son-in-law) made 1000 crores..."

"Is there not anger against corruption," he asked. "Yes," people shouted.

Modi then asked, "I am standing before you. Tell me if there is any allegation against me." "No," people shouted.
