Shri Narendra Modi addressed his second rally in Uttar Pradesh today in Jhansi. Addressing the huge public gathering, Shri Modi asked the people to get UP rid of Congress, Samajwadi Party and Bahujan Samaj Party. He also said “ Ye SABAKA lootatehain”. SA for Smajwadi party, BA for Bahujan Samaj Party and KA for Congress.

Elaborating on it, he told that whenever the elections approach, appeasement politics of Congress and other regional parties in UP starts. They start offering various packages for the development of the state. However, that package is used only to shut the mouth of the leaders of SP and BSP.

He also said that the regional parties in UP have no interest in building the future of the state or it’s youth. They are only interest in doing dirty politics.

Modiji asked people to give a chance to BJP for only 60 months as compared to the 60 years that have been given to Congress. He ensured people that BJP will change the face and future of India.

Modiji also praised the hardworking people from UP and Bihar who have come to Gujarat and also talked about a pilot project where he himself saw the high level of productivity from the people of these two states. People from UP and Bihar come to Gujarat and work for almost 13 hours a day and complete 1 year work in 6 months, said Modiji.

Modiji heavily criticized the recent statements by the Congress Vice President, terming it as irresponsible comments filled with emotional drama. He asked Rahul Gandhi about his statement of him getting angry when his grandmother was killed. Modiji also said that along with Rahul Gandhi, various Congressmen also got angry that led to the mass killing of Sikhs in the country and even till now, not even a single person has been punished.

Continuing with his attack on Rahul Gandhi, Modiji questioned his statement about ISI attempts to talk to Muslim youth in the wake of the Muzaffarnagar riots. He asked the prince to either disclose the names of those who are in touch with the ISI or publicly apologize for his irresponsible comments which have led to the defamation of a particular community. He wanted to know why such information was being shared with Rahul Gandhi who is just an MP and has not taken any oath of secrecy.

Modiji came down heavily on the Congress as it is only behaving like a news agency giving information about the infiltration of ISI in India. He asked them what are they doing in the capacity of the ruling party. Isn’t it Congress’ responsibility to stop ISI from spreading its wings in India?Shei Modi asked.

Modiji mocked the Congress and said that in its 60 years of rule, they have been able to improve the situation of the poor as earlier, he used to AADHI ROTI and now he is getting POORI ROTI. At this rate, to completely eradicate hunger from the country, Congress will need at least 100 more years.

Modiji criticized the PM and the planning commission for declaring that a person who earns Rs 26 a day in a village and Rs 32 in a city is not poor. He tore into them saying that they do not even know what it feels like to be poor.

BJP Vice President Uma Bharati elaborated about how Gujarat is the state where Muslims now feel the most secure in India. She also told that women security is the best in Gujarat.

BJP President Shri Rajnath Singh also delivered a strong speech and told that he can see a revolution in Jhansi and told about how the farmers are suffering in Bundelkhand while farmers in Gujarat are being given interest free loans and how Modiji has developed the entire agricultural landscape of Gujarat. He also said that the day BJP is given a chance to govern India, they will ensure that every farmer family is not solely dependent on family.
