Prime Minister Narendra Modi along with the BJP cadre reached Lucknow on January 2 with their Parivartan Rally ahead of the Uttar Pradesh state elections.
PM Modi, while addressing the rally, appreciated the spirit what the people of Lucknow have for the rally. He said,” I am associated with the Indian politics for a long time but have never seen such a huge rally.”
Before PM Modi’s speech, BJP National Chief Amit Shah and Union Home minister Rajnath Singh slammed the ruling party and the chaos they have created since last few months. They took a dig on BSP and Mayawati as well and collectively criticised both the parties for causing no development across the state while having ruled for a long duration.
Here’s what PM Modi said in his speech:
- For us, there is only one high command and it is the “People of India”
- When they say “Remove Modi”, I would say “Remove Black Money”. If they again say “Remove Modi”, I would say “Remove Corruption”
- “Have you ever seen the BSP and SP agreeing on same things? However, they both agree on Modi Hatao.”
