Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed supporters at a rally in Uttar Pradesh's Kanpur. Here are the highlights:
- There is a strong desire for change in Uttar Pradesh.
- I don't just see the winds of change. I see a storm for change.
- If the youth of Uttar Pradesh come together, then nothing can stop India from progressing.
- Countries with youthful populations progress at a much faster pace.
- India has a majority of its population under the age of 35 and this will increase further. Our youth is our biggest strength and will carry India to new heights.
- Energy projects have been set up to improve the lives of those in remote areas.
- Others political parties are busy with their own worries and troubles. They don't have time for the people.
- Today, you have a government at the Centre which is dedicated to the poor of this country.
- We are fighting black money and corruption. We are doing all we can to make a better India.
- Our agenda is stop corruption, stop black money. But others have an agenda of 'Stop Parliament'.
- Despite the President of the country telling them to do their job and let Parliament function, they continued to disrupt Parliament.
- For the first time, the country has seen a government dedicated to punish the corrupt.
- The opposition parties were seen protecting the corrupt.
- Those with the habit of malpractice and cheating people of this country will not be allowed to get away anymore.
- It is time for Uttar Pradesh to change along with the rest of the country. That will be possible only when you vote for change.
- In the All-Party meeting, I told every party that India wants to move towards honesty.
- I urged every leader to come together and work towards this.
- I had said earlier that elections (Lok Sabha and Assembly Polls) are held separately, thereby adding a lot of monetary strain. It also allowed a space for black money to make its way into the system.
- We should work towards having simultaneous elections for the Centre and the state.
- We must win the fight we've started against black money, counterfeit money and corruption.
- People of Uttar Pradesh are tired of Goondaism.
- Unaccountable, corruption and doing as they please - this is the functioning style of the Congress.
- I am happy to say that barring 70-72 villages out of 1600-odd villages, all others have got electricity.
- These 70-odd villages will also get electricity soon. This was not done in all these years by those who ruled for so many years.
- You all know how difficult it was to get a gas cylinder connection. Now that process has become so simple.
- We have stopped the misuse of urea by the corrupt and have ensured that farmers get their due share.
- There is a constant surveillance and monitoring being done at all banks. You can see for yourself how many corrupt people are being caught everyday from across the country.
- Did you ever see so many corrupt people being caught before? The proof of who is acting against black money and corruption is in front of you.
- I said this earlier and today I am repeating myself: The difficulties you all have faced over the last month will go away very soon.
- The situation is improving towards normalcy with each passing day.
- Starting December 25, every day, the government will give Rs 1,000 to 15,000 people using e-payments - 15,000 new people every day.
- That means, once someone gets it, they cannot get it a second time. This will happen every day for 100 days.
- Small traders will be the beneficiaries of this. Digital transactions will put an end to black money.
- The people of India came together - 125 crore people came together for honesty.
- No matter how much one praises, it won't be enough for the great people of India. This is not a success for a Prime Minister, or a success for any political party. It is a success, a win for the people of India.
