UP poll results will come as electric shock to rivals: PM

On Saturday, the prime minister had hit the campaign trail with an impromptu road show while he was on his way to two of the city’s most revered shrines – Kashi Vishwanath and Kaal Bhairav temples – in the morning.

Apparently peeved at the Congress demanding registration of an FIR against him for today’s roadshow here, Modi recalled how permission was denied for his rally in the run up to the Lok Sabha elections when he was the BJP’s prime ministerial nominee.

Mr Modi kick-started the roadshow from BHU gate, and after crossing Assi and Sonarpura, the first phase would end at Kashi Vishwanath temple where the Prime Minister would worship for about an hour.

In Jaunpur, the prime minister invoked surgical strikes conducted previous year and slammed the opposition parties for politicising the issue.

He will then proceed to Jaunpur to address an election rally, only to return and meet intellectuals of the city, party workers and then fly back to New Delhi around 9 pm.

“Yesterday he (a Congress politician) made a very big declaration. he said now he will extract juice from coconuts. and after extracting the juice, he will sell it in England”.

“It is requested that action may be taken and FIR registered against all BJP leaders including Narendra Modi who were part of the road show”, said K C Mittal, AICC secretary incharge of legal and human rights cell. He said that this kind of discrimination is unacceptable. He added that he aims for balanced growth in India and he wants that the eastern part of India has to scale new heights of development. One is not possible without the other.

“Two sons of Uttar Pradesh have brought the entire central government on the roads of Varanasi and this is a proof of whether it is the wave of BJP here or the fear of alliance”, he sums it up. The region is blessed with resources and manpower. He said both Akhilesh and Rahul were “delicate people who can not take hard decisions”.

Akhilesh Yadav, left, and Rahul Gandhi, together releasing the common minimum programme in Lucknow in early February. “They will suffer terribly once we get the power to change things here”. “I think this whole scenario is representative of the victory of the Samajwadi Party-Congress alliance”, president of the Maharashtra state branch of the Samajwadi Party Abu Azmi told ANI. But they did not lend a willing ear.

The PM upped the attack on the SP, the BSP and the Congress for not even being capable to allow people get benefits of programmes launched by the central government.
