Addressing a virtual “Jan Chaupal” for Mathura, Agra and Bulandshahr, PM Modi said the “naari shakti” of the state was determined to make Yogi Adityanath the Chief Minister once again.
Stating that only those who will serve the people as a ‘sevak’ will get their blessings, the PM said, “Uttar Pradesh has always shown the direction to the country. Today again Uttar Pradesh is showing a new path to the country.”
Slamming the previous government led by the Samajwadi Party, the PM said people of Bulandshahr know well what used to happen to women and daughters on the highway.
“Illegal occupation of houses and shops was common in UP. People were forced to leave their homes and migrate. The earlier governments were engaged in creating fear, now record highways are being built,” he added.
Meanwhile, the BJP cancelled launch of its manifesto in UP following the demise of Lata Mangeshkar. The party also cancelled all its events for Goa, including PM Modi’s virtual rally and release of manifesto.
