UP Election: Seasonal Politicians Active During Polls Will Go On Vacation After March 10, Says PM Modi

PM Modi also alleged that the Samajwadi Party did everything it could to protect terrorists when it was in power in Uttar Pradesh.

New Delhi: Exuding confidence of a BJP victory in Uttar Pradesh, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday attacked the Opposition, saying some "seasonal politicians" who are active during elections will go on vacation again after March 10.

Addressing a poll rally in Kaushambi, PM Modi said, "You got to see 'mausami' (seasonal) leaders in COVID who disappeared during peak & reappeared when it was controlled...They instigated people against vaccines but got themselves vaccinated...People of UP are well aware of 'seasonal' leaders."

Blaming the previous Uttar Pradesh government, he said that Kaushambi was deprived of development and blamed dynastic politics for it. PM Modi also alleged that the Samajwadi Party did everything it could to protect terrorists when it was in power in Uttar Pradesh.

"During the reign of the past governments, criminals roamed freely and forcefully took possession of other people's land and properties. Our mothers and daughters felt unsafe while coming out of their homes. Instead of providing good governance, the previous governments exploited the people and their leaders built lavish palaces. We on the other hand have made homes for the poor," he said. 

He accused the ministers, MLAs and MPs of "dynast parties" of "stealing" the ration of the poor during their rule. 

 "We brought in 'One Nation, One Ration Card'. Now people of Kaushambi can use their ration cards anywhere in the country," he added.
