Mamata fights for Bengal; what do Akhilesh, Mayawati do for you, says Narendra Modi in UP: highlights

BJP's prime ministerial candidate and Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi is in Uttar Pradesh today.

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.
