Narendra Modi begins Uttar Pradesh campaign with rally in Kanpur


Oct 19, 2013 15:50 (IST)
Narendra Modi speaks :

  • 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

  • No employent for youth. SP and BSP has created thi situaiton in Kanpur
  • The SP is trying to run its govt based on communal riots, there have been 100 in 1 year
  • No other state has seen so many communal riots. It has become a 'danga party'. (SaPa ko DaPa kehna chaiye)
