New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday trained guns at the Samajwadi Party as he said that 'Pariwarwadis' put obstacles in the development works of Uttar Pradesh.

"When these Pariwarwadis (SP) were in power, they used to put obstacles in whatever work we used to bring for the development of UP. These Pariwarwadis didn't let the poor, marginalised section develop," he claimed while addressing an election rally in Mirzapur, as quoted by news agency ANI.

He also said that the Indian government is working day and night to bring back all citizens, including students, stranded in Ukraine.

"With 'Operation Ganga', we have brought thousands of children safely from Ukraine," he added.

At the public meeting in Mirzapur, PM Modi said that Uttar Pradesh has voted overwhelmingly for the good governance of the BJP and NDA in the six phases of polling held so far.

"Now it is the turn of Mirzapur, Bhadohi, and the entire Purvanchal region. Defeat the 'ghor pariwarwadis' (dynasts) and mafias again in a resounding manner," he asserted.

PM Modi further stated he has resolved that the "poor should have their own house. They (SP) have built only 800 houses for the poor in Mirzapur, but in the last 5 years our government has built 28,000 houses for people of Mirzapur."

Talking about the situation in view of the Russia-Ukraine crisis, the Prime Minister said that "the whole world is in a very critical period of this century. The pandemic, the unrest, the uncertainty is affecting many countries of the world today."

"No matter how deep the crisis may be, India's efforts have been even greater, even more resolute," he added.

He also spoke about rescue work done under 'Operation Ganga' saying, "Right now, the whole world is watching the situation in Ukraine. India is working day and night to bring back each one of its citizens, our students, who are trapped in the conflict. With 'Operation Ganga', we have brought thousands of children safely from Ukraine."

PM Modi also recalled 'Operation Vande Bharat' and 'Operation Devi Shakti'.

"Millions of our Indians were trapped all over the world in COVID period. India helped all citizens to come back by running Operation Vande Bharat. Thousands of Indians are in distress in Afghanistan, so we have launched Operation Devi Shakti and evacuated many Indians safely from there," he emphasised.
