Kanpur:
Narendra Modi begans his Uttar Pradesh campaign in Kanpur today by addressing a rally in Kanpur. Here are the highlights:
Bharat Mata ki Jai. Your voice should be heard in Delhi
Been to election rallies earlier, but have not seen such a crowd before
Today this crowd at Kanpur has won me over
The people have been waiting for hours in the sun
I sense affection in every corner of the country. Along with the affection people are also showing their anger towards Congress.
I want to ask you a question: Do you want your children to suffer the same hardships you have suffered? Do you want to safeguard the future of the children?
If you want a bright future for you children, decide today you won't allow the people who have ruined your lives to ruin the lives of your children
Congress has been making false promises for last 60 years.
When elections come they forget promises they made in the last elections.
Congress had promised to bring down inflation But inflation has only increased
Has the PM ever said they have been unable to control inflation?
Has Soniaji ever expressed regret at not being able to bring down inflation? Has her 'shehzadaa' (prince) ever acknowledged this?
Have they said they have tried to bring down inflation but failed?This is because of their arrogance. They do not want to listen to the people.
Should you care about those who don't care about you? Teach them a lesson so that no one has the courage to betray the people's trust for years to come
Those who support this govt through the 'backdoor' are equally guilty and they are in UP too
Today, what is the police situation in UP? In the past one year, more than 5000 innocent people have died. Still, UP govt plays vote bank politics.
The govt is trying to free people named in terrorism cases
There are many of your relatives who have settled in Gujarat, Why have they left?
If development had taken place in Gujarat, then they wouldn't have to travel to Gujarat.
Congress, BSP and SP have destroyed UP
It is time to uproot this government and bring the BJP in to give India new hope
The Central government has to give an account of their activities in the past 5 years, instead, they talk about Gujarat
I have given my account to the Gujarat people and they have given me a distinction
If I have lacked in doing anything for Gujarat, people of Gujarat will make me pay for it
The pollution in UP is due to the coal fire in Delhi.
They says coal files have been lost, I say in Delhi the entire govt is lost and because of the misdeeds of the govt, our life is lost.
Listen to Congress' language. The 'prince' says there is no such thing as poverty, that it is a 'state of mind'
The ones who are born with a silver spoon in the mouth, how will they know about poverty
We have lived poverty. We have known the pain of poverty.
Why are they mocking the poor? Why are they making statements like food can be bought for Rs 5/Rs12
The government shouldn't be for the rich, it should be for the poor
Even the Planning Commission says someone making 26 rupees a day in a village isn't poor
They're tom-tomming the food security bill. I don't know whether this is a law to keep people hungry or feed them
Congress resorts to votebank politics and have started on their anthem of secularism to divide the people
We want the Hindu to be a good Hindu and the Muslim to be a good Muslim
Government has one religion: Nation first, India first; only one book: the constitution
We have to bury votebank politics and walk on the plank of development
We want to form a govt in Delhi that will enure a better future for your children:
Our neighbours taunt us with incursions and the govt in Delhi serves chicken biryani meals
Congress has divisiveness in their DNA, they learnt it from the British
Todna hi Congress ka kaam hain... Hum jodne ki rajneeti chahtey hain
The love you have given me, I'll reciprocate with interest
