Prime Minister and senior BJP leader Narendra Modi today attacked BSP and Samajwadi party in a political rally in Prayagraj district of Uttar Pradesh and said that these parties gave patronage to criminal elements. PM Modi said that the Mafia was given a free hand in earlier regimes and they used to grab the land of the poor and downtrodden but after the BJP came into power now such elements are behind bars. Prime Minister campaigned for BJP candidates Neeraj Tripathi from Prayagraj and Praveen Patel from Phoolpur constituencies.

Prime Minister will reach Varanasi in a short while from now and will interact with more than 25 thousand women today in his parliamentary constituency. He will attend the ‘Matri Shakti Sammlelan’ at Sampurnanand Sanskrit University. Mr Modi will interact with the women — homemakers, doctors, teachers, business owners, advocates, and athletes — during the program. Women will play every role in this one-hour-long Sammelan including comparing and other activities. Prime Minister will stay in Varanasi tonight and tomorrow he will address two more rallies in Uttar Pradesh.

On the other hand, Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh Yogi Adityanath addressed rallies in Balrampur, Siddharth Nagar, Sant Kabir Nagar Basti and Azamgarh districts today. He alleged that every criminal and mafia element in the state has connections with the Samajwadi party. Yogi said that the double-engine government of the BJP is doing development without any appeasement.

Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav today addressed a political rally in Bhadohi in support of TMC candidate Lalitesh Pati Tripathi. He said that BJP is not going to win even 140 seats in the country.
