UP CM Yogi Adityanath in the Prayagraj rally assured his party's win and said, "After the fourth phase of polls, BJP is close to majority mark. By the end of all seven phases, we'll cross the mark of 300 seats & form our government again. The unemployment rate in UP during 2017 was around 18% and now it is less than 2%."
Earlier, Adityanath in Prayagraj takes a dig on SP leaders and said "SP leaders have started booking tickets to go abroad after March 10 to hide their faces. But a problem has arisen before them as some flights have been banned because of Covid and some because of the Ukraine-Russia conflict."
