Here are the highlights of a speech he delivered at a rally in Bahraich.
- I salute Lord Brahma's 'tapobhuoomi'
- When I was BJP's general secretary in 2001, I had come here to review each constituency.
- My last programme was in Bahraich
- It was here I was informed that I cancel my engagements and proceed to Delhi
- The BJP then entrusted me with the Gujarat Chief Minister's job. As a general secretary of
- the BJP, Bahraich was my last stop.
- The weather is changing fast - not just in Bahraich, but from Kashmir to Kanyakumari
- Those who're too intoxicated by power, those who've used their power for pleasure - those people are now afraid.
- UPA is worried as they are going to lose for sure
- They know that if BJP forms government, people who have been destroying the country will be booked
- The way people are indulging in vote bank politics, the statements being made
- I ask those 'shehenshah's' in power in Uttar Pradesh, what was the reason you jailed two of our MLAs and your case did not stand in a court of law?
- For vote bank politics, they don't want to keep criminals in jail and want to imprison innocent people
- Those who've failed to beat Modi in 3 polls, those who were humiliated and feel that by democratic processes, they can't defeat us, they have a new tactic
- Go to the people and face us. Don't attack us like cowards using underhand tactics
- When these people realise that they can't tackle Modi democratically, they use the CBI
- They give a free hand to Indian Mujahideen
- In the next elections, SP BSP and Congress will not come to fight the elections. The CBI and Indian Mujahideen will be fighting to save the Congress.
- The Congress is trying to stifle our voice. They've issued a media advisory.
- Media didn't show Shehzaade's speech when I was speaking at Patna. He was seen but Modi was heard
- Whether I am seen on a TV screen or not, I have a space in the hearts of millions of Indians
- Whether they telecast our speech or not, we have already made our way into the hearts of people
- Answer us, why haven't you fulfilled your promises to the people? The Congress is running the government. They have to answer to the people. But they are asking me questions.
- Only if Uttar Pradesh had progressed, the country would have fared better
- Gujarat had an acute electricity shortage when I became Chief Minister, children had no electricity to study for exams
- There was a 2000MW shortage of elections. I ordered that all villages should be electrified immediately
- There's electricity in Khan sahab's area, but not in Uttar Pradesh
- Enough is enough. Now it is time for them to go
- India isn't prepared to tolerate them in the 21st century anymore
- Other than vote-bank politics, they have no other interest
- In that politics, IM is forming terror modules and getting protection
- Their power should be secure, the security of the people isn't their concern
- In the Chief Minister's constituency, then in Khan Sahab's constituency you have electricity- but the rest of the state doesn't
- Uttar Pradesh's Chief Mionister wrote to be so say we want a lion. The previous Chief Minister likes elephants, this one likes lion safaris
- We gave them lions, but I wondered why did they not ask for electricity or the knowledge to set up a dairy like Amul?
- SP, BSP are competing to collect criminals and make money through corruption
- Why are they not asking for what benefit the people?
- Mamata Didi fights with Delhi for Bengal. But SP, BSP leaders protect Delhi and save them. They ask for help in CBI cases
- Amitabh Bachchan was an ambassador for UP but they did not ask him for his time
- We utilised his fame and talent. He said 'kuch din to kato Gujarat mein' - and look what wonders that has done for the tourism of our state
- Madhya Pradesh was also 'beemaru' like Uttar Pradesh, but in the last 10 years the Madhya Pradesh farmer gets water in his fields, credit to Shivraj Chouhan
- Look at the roads in Madhya Pradesh. In 10 years, more roads have been made under BJP rule than were made in 50 years
- People in UP are honest and hardworking
- We have to stress on skill development - that is the only way we can ensure jobs for youth
- In Gujarat, Sugar mills start working after Dussehra. Here Diwali has gone by, but the mills are yet to start functioning
- Isn't that unfair to our farmers?
- We have used science in Gujarat to improve sugar yield
- If we want to progress we have to increase productivity... land is not going to increase
- If Uttar Pradesh decides, India can get political stability
- Uttar Pradesh hindustan ka bhagya vidhata ban sakat hain.
