Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during a public address in Etawah, Uttar Pradesh, expressed his vision for India not just in the immediate future but for the next 25 years, asserting that the nation’s strength will endure. He emphasized that the upcoming elections are not just about the next five years but about laying the foundation for a prosperous future lasting generations. PM Modi highlighted his government’s achievements, including initiatives for housing, sanitation, healthcare, and education, stating that his legacy is about providing for all citizens.
In his speech, PM Modi also criticized the opposition, particularly targeting the Congress and Samajwadi Party. He accused them of defaming indigenous COVID-19 vaccines and attempting to manipulate reservations based on religion, which he argued goes against the principles laid down by the framers of India’s Constitution.
PM Modi further contrasted the BJP’s approach to leadership opportunities within the party with that of the Samajwadi Party, highlighting the BJP’s merit-based system. He pointed out that while the SP relies heavily on family legacies, the BJP provides opportunities for any dedicated worker to rise within the party ranks.
The ongoing parliamentary elections in Uttar Pradesh, which is crucial due to its significant representation in the Lower House of Parliament, are being conducted in multiple phases. The Prime Minister’s remarks come amidst a heated political environment as parties vie for power and public support across the state.
The Prime Minister’s speech in Etawah is part of a larger campaign effort as political parties intensify their outreach to voters ahead of the remaining phases of voting in the state.
