Expressing shock at the reports of “corrupt people withdrawing money out of a widow’s pension” from banks, Mr. Modi said, “the corrupt are flourishing under the present U.P. government. To stop this, we have from the Centre linked pensions to Aadhaar cards and bank accounts. ₹40,000 crore of the treasury that these rats would have silently eaten, is now being saved.”
Addressing the gathering many of whom were farmers, Mr. Modi said “The Akhilesh government buys only three per cent of grains from farmers. But we gave ₹22,000 crore to sugarcane farmers. Give us an opportunity, we will change the situation completely”.
Touting “shocking” crime figures to underline his point of the goondaraj in the State being patronised by the SP government, Mr. Modi said, “There are 24 rapes in Uttar Pradesh daily.”
