Modi slams SP, BSP, Cong in UP
Bijnor/Aligarh, UP, Apr 6 (IBNS): Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)'s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi on Sunday slammed the Samajwadi Party (SP), Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) and the Congress while addressing supporters at Bijnor and Aligarh in Uttar Pradesh.
Claiming to expose the deceptiveness of the "'SABKA' – SP, BSP and Congress", Modi urged the people to make India free from the Congress and its allies.
He called for the need to understand and unmask the games played by SABKA and said, “Congress, SP and BSP, they are not three but they are one. These parties want a weak government, but now we cannot have this continuing any longer. Such games must stop.”
Appealing the people to vote for the BJP, Modi said the party’s focus is on bringing in the change that the nation deserves and ensuring a life of dignity for its people.
Modi predicted a wipe-out of the UPA in the 2014 elections and said that the time had come to form a strong and stable government in Delhi.
“Our heads are not born to wear crowns. We are here to serve the people day and night. Such is a government we want,” stated Modi.
He recalled his childhood days when he had to sell tea to earn a living and spoke of how the insult borne then had reinforced his determination to work towards serving the poor. “We want to bring a change in your lives. The poor must have a life with dignity and we are devoted to this cause,” the BJP leader said.
Attacking the Congress over its "sky-high arrogance" and its "devastating impact" on the India’s economy and its people, Modi said that their pride was so much that despite being in power for the last decade, they were reluctant to consider the prime minister as their leader.
“Ask Congressmen who their leader is. They won’t say it is Dr. Manmohan Singh,” he said, as he spoke of how the Congress party had forgotten patriotism and had instead become patriots of one family.
He further exposed the Congress’ divisive strategies and spoke of how their imperfect policies for farmers, women empowerment and the common man, had left every segment of the society longing for a change in the government.
Modi highlighted how ‘favoritism’ was the Samajwadi Party’s forte by citing the fact that while majority of the UP’s population had to face the brunt of severe power crisis, there were some ‘special people’ who enjoyed a life of luxury with uninterrupted power supply.
“The issue is beyond money. The lives and dreams of farmers are suffering. Their future generations suffer: We can also generate tremendous buzz around the world for our handicrafts but these people lack the will,” said Modi, referring to the lack of vision of the Centre and UP government.
Attacking the Congress’ propaganda of being secular and Congress president Sonia Gandhi's claims of having framed the 15 point programme for the welfare of minorities, Modi stated how, on being questioned by an MP from Uttar Pradesh about the programme’s impact on Muslims in the state, the Congress had shamelessly declared that not a single rupee had been spent in the state towards this in the past year.
Modi also quoted figures of the rampant riots that have occurred in the past one year, under the Congress’ governance, and especially in the state of UP, under the SP government.
Stating how Gujarat had ensured empowerment to all sections of the society, Modi cited researched figures which claimed that the Muslims in his state were well-off when compared to their counterparts in many other states.
“Those who practice votebank politics find it correct to keep the society poor. Neither can they do development nor are they able to serve the society. Such governments should be uprooted,” said the Gujarat CM.
