Will Ensure Removal Of Chowkidars From All The Chowkis

In 2014, we trusted a chaiwala, the poll promise of crores of jobs and so many other promises. Now we are being told to trust the chowkidar.... We will ensure removal of chowkidars from all the chowkis.

These people call themselves custodians of religion... But the don't even know how to take a holy dip in the Kumbh. If you compare Congress, and BJP they are just mirror images of each other, Congress doesn't want to bring change, it's only in pursuit of power.. You guys (BJP) are making tall claims about the electrification, it was our parties who ensured electrification of villages.

This election is about change, this election is about bridging differences which they have created between us, says Akhilesh Yadav.

Congress Thinks Alliance Should Not Win Even If They Lose

Road shows, holy dips in Ganga, Yamuna, giving tickets to film stars--- are just strategies for these parties to win elections. Congress is not strong enough to give a tough fight to BJP ... only grand alliance can fight the BJP The Congress is of the view that whether they win or not... alliance shouldn't win.

Especially in western UP, where people of all communities reside.... in Saharanpur, Bareilly, where there is a huge Muslim population... I want to tell the people of Muslim community... Don't divide your vote... Give your vote to BSP, RLD. When you people vote on the polling day, please step out in huge numbers, I want to tell you women will definitely not be on a backfoot when it comes to casting vote.

BJP Government Has Been Misusing Probe Agencies

Even the people from backward communities are suffering... The divisive thought process of these parties are hurting these communities... At centre, or state level... reservation issue for these communities was ignored. These communities are not benefiting from the reservation. They are being exploited. Minorities are also suffering.

Corruption has increased at every level. Congress was tainted by bofors. BJP government is tainted by Rafale... The BJP government has been misusing probe agencies - CBI, ED - against its rivals. You don't need to give another chance to them. The parties that have already been given enough chances In the election season, political parties use opinion polls to misguide voters. Do not get swayed.

Poll Promises Not been Fulfilled

The poll promises have still not been fulfilled... The ground realities can't be ignored. BJP will keep endorsing its hawa-hawai schemes till the poll results are announced. Thousands of crores have been wasted... That's taxpayers money... could be used for the poor...If PM was serious about welfare of poor, they would not have been inaugurating schemes after poll dates were announced... they would have performed in five years of tenure. In the last budget... whatever announcements were made by centre are nothing but empty poll promises.
