Addressing a rally in Meerut, he said the consumption of this alliance liquor would destroy the health of the state. "Sapa (Samajwadi Party) ka 'sa', RLD ka 'Raa' aur Baspa (BSP) ka 'ba', matlab 'sharab'. For UP's good health and for India's future, shouldn’t one stay away from sarab?

Some of them are - RSVP—Rahul, Sonia, Vadra, Priyanka ABCD—Adarsh, Bofors, Coal and Damaad SCAM—Samajwadi Party, Congress, Akhilesh Yadav and Mayawati Modi also attacked the opposition parties for raising questions over India's air strikes against Pakistan and its capabilities in the space. "The country has seen many governments which believed in sloganeering but for the first time it has seen a decisive government which knows how to fulfill its commitments," he said. "Be it land or sky or space, the government of your 'chowkidar' has shown courage to conduct surgical strikes," Modi added, while referring to Balakot air strikes and launch of an Anti-Satellite (A-SAT) missile.

आज टेली-प्रॉम्प्टर ने यह पोल खोल दी कि सराब और शराब का अंतर वह लोग नहीं जानते जो नफ़रत के नशे को बढ़ावा देते हैं

सराब को मृगतृष्णा भी कहते हैं और यह वह धुंधला सा सपना है जो भाजपा 5 साल से दिखा रही है लेकिन जो कभी हासिल नहीं होता। अब जब नया चुनाव आ गया तो वह नया सराब दिखा रहे हैं — Akhilesh Yadav (@yadavakhilesh) March 28, 2019
