“He (PM) says the SP did a lot of ‘ karnama ’ (misdeeds). He says ‘ mann ki baat ’ on TV and radio, I want to ask him as to when will he do ‘ kaam ki baat ’ (talk of something worthwhile),” Yadav said at an election rally here. Prime Minister Narendra Modi had on Saturday attacked Akhilesh saying, “Akhileshji says ‘ kaam bolta hai ’, (but) even a child here knows that it is your karna ma (misdeed) which is speaking for you.”
Referring to the infamous Badaun rape case of two sisters, Akhilesh said leaders of all parties reached there and the matter was even raised in the UN, but a CBI probe gave a clean chit to the state and ‘the conspiracy to defame’ was exposed. “The downfall of those who had befooled people promising ‘ acchey din ’ has started.
After 2017, they will be wiped out in 2019 also. They (BJP) should tell as to what have they done for people,” he said. Claiming that SP was ahead of rivals in the first phase, Akhilesh said the trend will continue and the alliance will get majority. “We could have got majority alone, but after alliance with Congress we will comfortably win over 300 seats,” Akhilesh said, asking people to vote for party candidates.
We threw out trash, Modi took it into BJP: Rahul
Hitting back at BJP on the issue of corruption, Rahul Gandhi on Sunday asked why Prime Minister Narendra Modi gave tickets to tainted leaders thrown out of Congress and took the ‘trash’ into his party. The Congress leader, who held a 75-km roadshow here ahead of February 15 polls in Uttarkhand, said Modi had no right to talk about corruption as ‘tainted’ former Congress leaders now adorned BJP’s ranks.
“Modiji has no right to talk about corruption. All scam tainted leaders who were earlier with us are now with BJP,” Rahul said at a public meeting in Puhana after starting his roadshow from Bhagwanpur in Haridwar district which has the maximum number of eleven assembly constituencies.
As in 2007, pollsters will be proved wrong: Mayawati
Claiming that it was a ‘clean sweep’ for BSP in the first phase of Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, Mayawati on Sunday said she will prove the pollsters wrong as she did in 2007 when they predicted her defeat.
Attacking Samajwadi Party, the BSP supremo assured the voters that she would rid the state of ‘prevailing jungle raj’ by putting criminals behind bars and urged Muslims not to waste their votes on SP. “The first phase of UP polls was encouraging for BSP. It was a clean sweep for our party. It’s a positive signal that we are going to form government in the state,” she told an election rally.
On SP-Congress alliance, she said, “It is political opportunism as Congress joined hands with a government which works on BJP’s guidelines.” She dubbed as ‘fake’ the surveys and opinion polls that said BSP will not come to power and said that they will be proved wrong as in 2007, when her party got majority. “You should not believe in such surveys. If BSP came to power all development schemes will be restarted and names of schemes and places that were changed will be restored,” she said.
“Samajwadi government only gave lawlessness and corruption with over 500 riots,” she claimed, adding voters of SP are divided in two factions now. “Shivpal Yadav will damage SP because he was insulted by Mulayam Singh due to his affection for son Akhilesh,” Mayawati said and appealed to minority voters not to support SP.
