“The manufacturing units were shut down because the State government in Lucknow could not provide them with electricity. People at tea stalls and hotels talk how electricity came on specefic days of a week. But times have changed. We are working all day and night to ensure that electricity reaches every home. We are working for U.P.’s VIKAS,” Mr. Modi said.
Accusing the entire Opposition of ganging-up against him because of the Central government’s moves against corruption, Mr. Modi said, “ These days some people are issuing fatwa against me because I have started tightening screws. Through demonetisation when I asked for an account of the crimes they have committed for the last 70 years. These people have nothing to do with development. They came together only to ensure that Modi doesn’t get a majority in Raja Sabha and he is unable to make laws to curb and expose their corruption.”
He raised the issue of allegations of corruption and discrimination in favour of youths belonging to the Yadav community in recruitment by the Akhilesh Yadav government and promised elimination of all kinds of corruption from the recruitment of government jobs in the State.
