Taking aim at the Samajwadi Party ahead of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said the “river of development” had stopped in the state before 2017 due to the dynastic approach of “fake samajwadis’.
Modi, addressing a rally in Bijnor virtually, also said that the previous governments never made efforts to quench the thirst for development of the state and fulfil people’s aspirations for progress and freedom from poverty.
“The water in the river of development in UP was stagnant. It was stagnating due to the fake ‘Samajwadis’ and their associates. These people never had anything to do with the thirst for the development of the common man, who wanted progress, and freedom from poverty,” the prime minister said.
Modi also asserted that the political parties, which headed the previous governments, sought to quench their own thirst and that of their associates. “They sought to fill their own coffers. This selfish thirst soaks all streams of the river of development,” Modi said.
The Prime minister apologized for holding Jan Chaupal rally virtually, saying that the bad weather couldn’t allow his helicopter to take off for Bijnor. “First of all, I’d like to apologize to you. After some relaxation by the Election Commission, I had thought of beginning my campaign by coming to Bijnor (UP) in person,” PM Modi said.
Modi praised the Yogi Adityanath government for developing all regions of the state equally without any discrimination.
Modi said that his helicopter couldn’t leave due to weather conditions, so he thought of holding the rally through video conferencing once again.
The polling in Uttar Pradesh will be held on 10, 14, 20, 23, 27 February and 3 and 7 March, in seven phases. The counting of votes will take place on 10 March.
