Underlining that no major riots have taken place in Gujarat for the past two decades, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Saturday that voters in Uttar Pradesh have also realized that only the BJP government has the antidote to the rioters and criminals.

Addressing a campaign rally here, he also denounced ‘dynastic parties’, saying that after the first ballot in Uttar Pradesh their leaders were sleepless and unable to dream.

“While explaining democracy, it is said, a government of the people, by the people, for the people. But, these extreme rulers (‘ghor pariwarvadis’) changed that. These people say – government of the family, by the family, for the family,” Modi said.

Accusing rival parties of failing to maintain law and order in the UP when they were in power, Modi said: “I remember the situation was the same in Gujarat once. Under the rule of Congress , the business did not prosper and the people did not feel safe. Every year there were riots and curfews… even over minor issues.” ”Gujarat was caught in this ‘dushchakra’ (vicious circle) for a long time. When the people of Gujarat gave the BJP an opportunity, circumstances started to change,” said Modi, who served as chief minister of the western state for 13 years.

He said that the BJP government in Gujarat gives top priority to law and order as a result of which in the past two decades there have been no major riots and all communities are working for the development of the state and the country.

“Similarly, in UP, it’s Yogi ji’s government that can stop the mafia and goons. The way the government under the leadership of Yogi (Adityanath) stopped the riots, we have to give it a permanent shape,” he said.

”Peace is a prerequisite for development. Therefore, UP places the highest priority on law and order. Even an ordinary UP voter realizes that one and only the BJP government has the antidote against rioters and criminals,’ Modi said. they can never improve.

”What type of contestants received tickets? Most of their candidates are history leafters, and the situation is such that some are contesting the elections from prison itself. ”Modi said his government had given constitutional status to the Other Backward Classes Commission (OBC) which had been pending for three decades.

”They (referring to the UPA) were in power, and the SP was also a partner of this government.

”But, they never gave this right to OBCs. It was after the arrival of the Modi government that we granted constitutional rights to the OBC and responded to their demands,” he said.

”Sabka saath, sabka vikas for young people is reflected in our policy. The BJP government has also extended a 10% reservation facility to the general poor,” he said.

Modi was addressing a rally for the assembly constituencies of Kannauj, Farrukhabad, Etawah and Auraiya, which are said to be the “Samajwadi belt” and which have a large population of OBCs. The assembly constituencies in this belt will go to vote in the third phase on February 20.

The Prime Minister went on to say, ”The BJP government has decided to reserve for them (OBC) the seats in the medical colleges which fall under the Centre’s quota.

”Now private medical schools must retain 50% of the (reserved) seats like government medical schools. This will benefit lower and middle class people,” he said.

Whereas before each district was known for its own mafia, each district is now known for its special product, he said referring to the efforts of the BJP government to encourage state enterprises. ”Kannauj’s scent suffered because of the Dynasts. They brought discredit to the perfume trade through their corruption and despicable deeds. ”They had linked the perfume to corruption. We are trying to make this fragrance a global brand. We are working so that Kannauj perfume can make its presence felt in the world,’ he said, referring to raids on two perfume merchants in which a huge sum of money and jewelry were recovered recently. .

Attempting to make a direct link to people connected with farming, the Prime Minister said: “The work, which they (apparently pointing to SP) perceive as petty, we see it as a solution for the advancement of the poor. ” ”’We are concerned about those who have no land or who have very little land. We are concerned about these sisters for whom animal husbandry is a means of autonomy and self-respect,” he said.
