WHAT ELSE MODI SAID AT FATEHPUR: THINGS TO KNOW
- The Samajwadi Party entered into an alliance with the Congress with the fear of losing power in Lucknow.
- The Samajwadi Party has insulted their ideologue Ram Manohar Lohia by joining hands with the Congress, which looted the country.
- Those born with silver spoon in mouth realised that the situation is not in their favour, so they tied up with Samajwadi Party.
- There was a time when farmers had to face hurdles to get urea. We neem-coated urea and stopped its black marketing.
- The people who were selling them on the black market, won't they come after me? Won't they punish me? Who will protect me? ("We will, we will", chanted back the crowd).
- We want to provide free gas connections to rural households. We want them to have access to clean fuel.
- I promise the people living in the villages of Uttar Pradesh that I will get all the loans of the farmers waived off if the BJP is voted to power in the state.
- Why is the policing system so inefficient in UP? Why are complaints not registered? What work culture is it?
- The Supreme Court had to interfere in Gayatri Prajapati matter to make a station lodge an FIR.
- The Samajwadi Party is least concerned about improving law and order situation in UP. I urge people to elect a government that would ensure safety of people.
