Defeating SP only answer to removing corruption from UP : PM Modi

Mirzapur, Uttar Pradesh, Mar 3 (IBNS) : Flaying his political rivals for their apathy towards the welfare of Uttar Pradesh, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday promised a corruption-free Uttar Pradesh if BJP is voted to power.

Addressing an election rally, Modi took one all- the ruling Samajwadi Party- the Congress and the BSP-for the "underdevelopment" of Uttar Pradesh, which he said, is capable of taking the country ahead.

"SP, BSP and Congress will get the shock on March 11," the PM said.

He said  corruption has been eating into society and it's time it was weeded out.

"There are four kinds on corruption in UP- najrana, thukrana, shukrana and jabrana," Modi said.

" There is only one solution for this- harana," he added, calling upon the people to vote for the BJP.

Ridiculing UP Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, Modi said, "he  dares me to touch the wires of electricity but there is no electricity passing through them."

Modi has been in a row with Akhilesh Yadav over electrification in Uttar Pradesh.

The PM said there  is a lot of potential to develop the state as a tourism hub, "but  the state Government doesn’t bother."

Taking a dig at BSP chief Mayawati, the PM said she hates the stones of Mirzapur.

" Election in Uttar Pradesh has turned into an ‘Utsav’ of freeing state from misrule of SP, BSP, Congress," Modi said.
