'Your Vote Stopped Big Explosions': PM Modi's Barb At Opposition In UP's Shahjahanpur

While addressing a public rally, PM Modi stated that before he came to power, there used to be announcements made at railway stations and bus stations asking people not to touch unclaimed things.

Lok Sabha Elections: Prime Minister Narendra Modi slammed the previous governments on Thursday saying that before he came to power, there used to be announcements made at railway stations and bus stations asking people not to touch unclaimed things because there was a fear that there would be a bomb. While addressing a public rally in Uttar Pradesh's Shahjahanpur, the Prime Minister stated that the power of the people's vote has stopped big explosions.

"Before Modi came to power, there were announcements made at railway stations, bus stations, on television that if you see any unclaimed thing, bag, tiffin anywhere, do not touch it because there was a fear that there would be a bomb in the unclaimed things lying there and hence the entire government had to tell this to the people every day. After 2014, have you ever heard such information?...It is the power of your vote that stopped big explosions. Because you voted for the right people," PM Modi said.

PM Modi also said that the Congress and the Samajwadi Party want to take away the rights of SC, ST, and OBC and give reservations based on religion.

During his speech, the Prime Minister launched an attack on the Congress and said that whenever the grand old party has to commit a big misdeed, it starts raising a hue and cry in the name of the country and the Constitution.

"This has been the identity of Congress - whenever they have to commit a big misdeed, they start raising a hue and cry in the name of the country and the Constitution. By raising similar slogans in the 70s, Congress had imposed Emergency in the country, turned the country into a prison, shut down newspapers and put lakhs of democracy lovers behind bars...Once again Congress has released its flop film. There are two dialogues in this film of Congress- first- If Modi wins, dictatorship will come. Second- if Modi wins, reservation will go away…They keep spreading such lies. But as soon as the trailer of this film appeared in their manifesto, people read it and the country got to know the real face of Congress, their hidden agenda. Now all their truths are coming out one by one before the country," PM Modi said.
