Prayagraj (Uttar Pradesh) [India] May 19 : Ab ki baar "400 paar", the crowd shouted in unison as Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath delivered a speech at an election rally in UP's Prayagraj on Sunday emphasizing the farsightedness of the BJP on addressing issues of national interest.
Addressing an election rally in UP's Prayagraj, a day ahead of the voting in the city, UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said, "Only one voice is resonating in the whole country. 'Phir ek baar Modi Sarkar, Ab ki baar 400 Paar'. Whenever we talk about crossing 400 seats, Congress and the Samajwadi Party get tense. They think how can someone cross the mark of 400 seats? A voice comes from people which says that we will bring those who brought Lord Ram. This whole election is between 'Ram Bhakt' and 'Ram Drohi.
"Each person in the country is aware what is going to happen on June 4. The public is aware of the results. No matter what happens, PM Modi will win the elections," he added.
Highlighting the importance of a strong BJP mandate, Adityanath linked it to national issues, saying, "We want 400 plus seats so that PoK can be made an integral part of India."
Taking a sharp jab at the opposition, Yogi said, "The Samajwadi Party cannot be trusted anymore. No wonder if they abduct anyone. When they were running the government, they did the same thing. They will lie, divide on the basis on caste, but you don't have to divide. To continue this wave of development in India, BJP has to come," he remarked. He accused the Samajwadi Party of hindering development and urged the public to remember their governance failures when voting.
"The Samajwadi Party has held back your development; don't vote for them. They failed to provide you with jobs, so make them pay for it at the polls," Yogi said.
Earlier while addressing a rally in Prayagraj, Home Minister Amit Shah said that Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK) belongs to India and the nation will take it back.
"Rahul Baba (Gandhi), I am saying this on the pious land of Prayagraj, PoK is ours, will be ours and we will take it back. You kept Article 370 for 70 years, but people voted for PM Modi and he abrogated it," said Shah at a rally in Prayagraj on Sunday.
