NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while addressing a rally in UP's Jaunpur on Thursday, said that the BJP should bag victory in the Uttar Pradesh assembly polls as the the party has been working towards the state's development and that should not stop.
PM Modi also hit out at his political rivals, terming them 'parivaarwadi'. Terming the previous Samajwadi party government "mafiawadi", Modi said a BJP government was needed in the state to ensure Jaunpur is "mafia-free".He claimed that the previous government had refused to build houses for the poor even when the central government was ready to allot money for the same.
The Prime Minister, at the rally, also heaped praises on Yogi Adityanath-led UP government and said the CM has shown how the BJP works for people.
The Prime Minister claimed that polling in UP so far has hinted at the formation of a BJP-Apna Dal-Nishad Party government in the state. He said he believed that votes cast in the sixth phase of UP assembly elections were in favour of the BJP.
"We have to ensure that the victory of the BJP is as grand as it was in 2017," PM Modi also said.
