In Barabanki, Prime Minister Narendra Modi took a jab at Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, likening their aspirations to those of other leaders within the INDIA bloc who, he claimed, are merely ‘daydreaming’ of becoming Prime Ministers.

“Even Mungeri Lal would envy their daydreaming abilities. Babua (Akhilesh) has found a new Bua from West Bengal who has promised them support from the sidelines. They are already unraveling, solely intent on causing disruptions,” PM Modi remarked during a rally in Barabanki.

He highlighted that a Congress leader had declared in Raebareli that the voters there would essentially be electing a Prime Minister from the constituency. “This has left the SP leaders crestfallen. Will you waste your vote on such individuals? Can you anticipate progress from them? What we need is a ‘damdar sarkar’ for swift progress, and for this – it’s only the ‘kamal’,” he emphasized.

The Prime Minister emphasized that the task of INDIA bloc MPs would be to outdo each other in criticizing Modi. “When you seek an employee, you seek competence. You don’t hire someone who merely knows how to hurl insults,” he asserted.

Assuring the people that he was there to seek their blessings, PM Modi pledged to reciprocate the love by working even harder. “I’m geared up for a hat trick, and we will strive for the betterment of all segments of society,” he affirmed.

Furthermore, he attributed the construction of the Ram Mandir after a 500-year-long struggle to the strength of the people’s votes. “Congress and SP initially confined Lord Ram to a tent and then suggested constructing a hospital or Dharamsala there instead of a temple. I’ve heard that Congress is plotting to overturn the Supreme Court’s verdict on the Ram Mandir and bulldoze it. They should learn from Yogi Adityanath on the prudent use of bulldozers,” he remarked.

The Prime Minister urged the people to ensure that the deposits of opposition members are forfeited in the ongoing elections. He mentioned that if the INDIA bloc comes into power, it would bolster its voter base by reallocating reservation from SC/ST, Adivasis, and OBCs to their supporters as part of an appeasement strategy.

“The one implicated in the fodder scam is now advocating for their entire vote bank to benefit from reservation. When I attempt to uncover their motives, they accuse me of polarizing elections,” he highlighted.
