TIL Desk/National/Kasganj (UP)/ Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said the BJP’s flag was flying high after the first round of voting in Uttar Pradesh and asked people not to vote for the ‘dynasts’ who intend to stop the government’s welfare schemes for the poor if they come to power. PM Modi was addressing a physical rally in Kasganj district which will vote in the third phase of the ongoing Uttar Pradesh assembly elections on February 20.
In an apparent dig at the Samajwadi Party, PM Modi said, “The dynastic leaders are so desperate that they have made up their mind to stop all the schemes (of BJP government) which are run for the poor. Hence, these people should never be given an opportunity.” Urging the people of Uttar Pradesh to “remain alert”, he said, “The blessings and love that you have showered on Modi and Yogi ji, have robbed these pariwarvadis (dynasts) of their sleep. No matter how much efforts they made to divide you on the basis of caste, they have failed.” These “dynasts” filled their coffers, but were never bothered about the poor. They do not the lives of the poor to become easy, he said.
Taking a jibe at the political rivals, PM Modi said after the first round of voting in Uttar Pradesh, the BJP’s flag is flying high while its rivals are disappointed. “In all the interviews given by the leaders of opposition parties, they have a long face… Even those who are staunch dynasts have realised this. Hence, they have started raising questions over the EVMs and Election Commission,” PM Modi said.
