New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a virtual ‘Jan Chaupal’ rally today. This was his first rally for the 2022 Uttar Pradesh assembly elections.

This virtual rally was meant for 21 assembly constituencies of western UP from where the seven-phase assembly polls will begin on February 10. 

Highlights of PM Modi's speech

• The Prime Minister took a jibe at the opposition and said that before 2017, the law & order situation was a challenge in the Assembly constituencies voting in the first and second phases of Assembly elections. Now, there is a good environment of safety and security in these areas and girls are safe.
• He added, "It was a challenge for girls to step out of their homes in districts like Bulandshahr and Meerut before 2017. Now, a sense of safety among girls and traders and opportunities provided to farmers and youth are being seen as achievements of the double-engine BJP government.
• Hitting out at the previous governments, PM Modi said that five years ago, dabangg (strongmen) and dangai (rioters) used to run the show in UP. Their words were treated as the government's orders. People of western UP can never forget that when this region was burning in riots, the then Govt was celebrating.
• PM Modi further said, "The illegal occupation of the homes, land, and shops of the poor, Dalits, backwards and the downtrodden was a sign of socialism five years ago."

पश्चिमी यूपी के लोग कभी नहीं भूल सकते कि जब ये क्षेत्र दंगे की आग में जल रहा था, तो पहले वाली सरकार उत्सव मना रही थी। 5 साल पहले- गरीब, दलित, वंचित, पिछड़ों के घर-ज़मीन-दुकान पर अवैध कब्ज़ा, समाजवाद का प्रतीक था। लोगों के पलायन की आए दिन खबर आती थी। - मा0 पीएम श्री #narendramodi जी #मोदीजी_की_चौपाल

• The Prime Minister further said that five years ago, there was news of the migration of people every other day. Abduction & demand for ransom had ruined the lives of the middle-class and traders. The Yogi government has brought the state out of these situations in the last 5 years.
• Slamming the opposition's ideology, PM Modi said, "We are working hard to bring about a change in Uttar Pradesh. On the other hand, they are looking for an opportunity to seek revenge from you (public). Seeking revenge is their ideology."
• The BJP Govt in Uttar Pradesh has taught the meaning of the law to the mafias and goons who used to consider themselves above the law. That is why these goons are desperate to come to power anyhow, said PM Modi.
• Talking about the initiatives taken by BJP for the development of the state, PM Modi said that the biogas plants being set up in Uttar Pradesh will not only help tackle the problem of stray cattle but also provide a new avenue of revenue creation for farmers.
• We had set a target of procuring a record quantity of foodgrains from farmers and we had achieved this target. The MSP procurement has seen a more than two-fold increase in the last 5 years, said the Prime Minister.
• Appreciating CM Yogi, the Prime Minister said, "Sometimes I hear about the dreams of some people. You all know that the only person who sleeps can see dreams. Those who are awake take resolutions. Yogi Ji is a leader who is always awake, and hence, he takes resolutions. This is the difference."

Additionally, the Prime Minister will address the 30th National Commission for Women (NCW) Foundation Day programme on Monday via video-conferencing, the PMO said.

The state commissions for women, the departments for women and child development in the state governments, university and college teaching faculty, students, voluntary organisations, women entrepreneurs, and business associations will be part of the event, the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) said in a statement on Sunday.
