Only 2 lakh jobs created in 10 yrs before 2017 in UP, Yogi govt generated 5 lakh jobs with transparency in 5 years. — Narendra Modi, Prime Minister

Union Minister Smriti Irani, who was BJP’s candidate from Amethi, won the 2019 Lok Sabha elections by defeating Congress’ Rahul Gandhi. It was for the first time since 1988 that the Congress failed to win the seat.

Further taking swipe against the Samajwadi Party for being “far away from ground reality”, the Prime Minister said, “Parivarvaadi parties want to come to authority to increase their family’s power and rule over you like kings. The BJP’s power isn’t bahubali/mafia, but people of UP.”

Further turning heat on his opponents on terror issue, the PM said some opposition parties did not dare to welcome the court verdict on Ahmedabad blasts as they feared losing their vote bank.

Meanwhile, addressing another rally in Prayagraj, Modi also took a swipe at rivals alleging they see development works in Ayodhya and Kashi through communal lens.
