Dynasts will again be defeated in UP, says PM Modi while addressing an election rally in Kanpur Dehat

Amidst the ongoing election campaigning in Uttar Pradesh, PM Modi’s rally spree continued as he addressed an election rally in Kanpur Dehat today. The Prime Minister expressed his gratitude towards the people for their support and said, “Voting is going on in the second phase in Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Goa today. I would urge all the voters, especially the first-time voters, to come out to vote in maximum numbers.”


Mounting a blistering attack on the TMC, PM Modi reiterated, “In an interview to a news publication in Goa, a TMC leader said that they have formed alliance with a particular party to divide Hindu votes in Goa. I want to tell Goa voters that is the chance to bury such kind of politics.”


“The trend of the second phase in UP and the voting in the first phase has made four things very clear – First, ‘BJP Ki Sarkar, Yogi Ji Ki Sarkar Phir Se Aa Rahi Hai’. Second, People of every caste, people of every class are voting without division, people in villages and cities are voting without division, they are unitedly voting for fast development of UP. Third, our mothers, sisters and daughters have taken responsibility to ensure BJP’s win. Fourth, Muslim sisters, quietly, without making any noise, are coming out of their homes to bless Modi because they know who has worked for their welfare,” he added.


Addressing the huge rally, PM Modi said, “The 'Parivaarwadi' will again be defeated by the people of Uttar Pradesh. The festival of colours- Holi will be celebrated in Uttar Pradesh on 10th March itself.”


Targeting the opposition, The PM Modi asked, “When they keep changing their allies, then how will they serve the people of Uttar Pradesh? Earlier governments looted the people of the state. People of UP have defeated them in 2014, then in 2017 and 2019, and now in 2022 again these staunch ‘Parivarwadis’ will lose.”


PM Modi further alleged, “Before 2017, when there were governments of these extreme ’Parivarwadis’, then everyday there were reports of ration scams from UP. These people had created lakhs of fake ration cards. But our Double Engine Sarkar has stopped this game of fake ration cards. Today, crores of the UP public are receiving ration free of cost. Stoves of my poor sisters and mothers will never be turned off. We have to walk on the path of development. Welfare and upliftment of the poor is BJP's main priority.”


“If they had their way, they would have made Kanpur and other such areas in UP, a 'mafiaganj' mohalla. Now their 'mafiagiri' is counting its last breath. These 'Parivarwadi' want to give power to the mafias again,” he added.


Elaborating on the benefits of Double Engine Sarkar, PM Modi asserted, “34 lakh houses have been given to the poor under the PM-Awas Yojana in the state. Out of this, 13 lakh Dalits have got the houses. Also, the Muslim girls feel safe under the BJP rule in Uttar Pradesh. Many Muslim girls are going to schools and colleges in the state now.” The PM recounted several measures for welfare of farmers in the state. He mentioned how PM-KISAN, Kisan Credit Cards have benefitted the farmers immensely. He also spoke how double engine government is promoting biofuel usage, which in turn, is helping the sugarcane farmers of Uttar Pradesh.


PM Modi urged voters in Uttar Pradesh to vote for the BJP in the upcoming assembly elections. He said, “Pehle Matdan, Kamal Nishan Aur Phir Koi Anya Kaam”. Several BJP leaders and karyakartas were present in the event.
