Prime Minister Narendra Modi while addressing the Jan Chaupal rally virtually in Bijnor talked about his party's work in the state and said, "Earlier, molestation of women was very common. Situation was so bad that after incidents of chain snatching, people were thankful that they were still alive. CM Yogi's govt freed women from that fear. We gave women their true honour."
Talking about development in UP he said "During CM Yogi's tenure, criminals themselves ran to jails and demanded that they be locked up. They have been waiting for these elections for years. They have just one hope, that the elections come soon and there is a change of govt so that they can come out of jail."
In his virtual rally, he also attacked Samajwadi Party and said, "All that the 'Samajwadis' did was to keep quenching their own thirst and that of their close ones. They kept quenching the thirst of their own coffers. This selfish thirst soaks all streams of the river of development."
