"Chowkidar Chor Hai (The watchman is a thief)" is a slogan used by the Indian National Congress (INC) party as its slogan for the 2019 Lok Sabha Elections. Earlier this month, AICC President Rahul Gandhi said that the slogan was coined by farmers and youths. He made this statement while addressing a rally in Madhya Pradesh's Bhind on May 8.
"Mediapersons asked me today about the genesis of the chowkidar chor hai slogan. I told them that while addressing a rally in Chhattisgarh, I said the chowkidar promised two crore jobs to the youth and assured Rs. 15 lakh will be deposited in the bank account of each Indian. Around 10-15 young men in the rally said chor hai," said Gandhi.
"I did not hear it the first time. So I asked (the young men) what did you say? They said 'chor hai'. This slogan was not coined by the Congress, or by Rahul Gandhi, but it is a slogan of the youth, farmers and labourers of India," the Congress president said explaining the tale behind 'Chowkidar chor hai' slogan.
