UP needs lotus, not SCAM: Modi

PM Modi at his rally came up with a new acronym of Vikas – V for ‘vidyut’ (electricity), K for ‘kanoon vyawas tha’ (law and order) and S for ‘sadak’ (roads). In his address Modi said.

“In a day, 7650 crimes, 24 rapes, 21 rape attempts, 13 murders, 33 kidnappings, 19 riots and 136 thefts happen in UP.” He further said that UP doesn’t need ‘SCAM’ (S for Samajwadi (Party), C for Congress, A for Akhilesh (Yadav) and M for Mayawati), but needs the lotus. 

Maintaining that he had come to Aligarh in 2014 as the PM candidate, Modi said “not even half this ground was filled then. But today there is a ‘ke sariya sagar’ (saffron sea) before me. And when the wind is so strong, even a young leader cannot face it and seeks help of anything, even a pole, but this time BJP ‘aandhi’ (storm) is so strong that the Chief Minister fears that he might be blown off. The people of UP want change and justice.”

Attacking the opposition, Modi said “we are working to save money by adopting strict measures. Will they not be angry with me and will not come together to defeat Modi? They feel that if they remain alone, Modi will get majority in the Rajya Sabha and make such rules that thieves, looters and the corrupt will not get any help. This is their fear.” “I am tightening the screws to teach those supporting black money a lesson,” he said. 

Attacking the SP government, Modi said “past governments in UP worked in such a manner that it led to the clo sure of famous Aligarh lock industry as they could not provide enough electricity.”
