Giving the people of Amethi and Prayagraj a crash course on the dangers of nepotistic rule and appeasement politics, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Thursday that after four rounds of the ongoing Assembly polls, it was clear that the people of Uttar Pradesh stood consolidated behind the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). "When the Opposition starts blaming EVMs (electronic voting machine), you know there is no need to wait for the exit polls," he said.
Addressing a rally in Amethi, Mr. Modi said that those who thought they would be able to divide people and make them forget the national interest and the interests of the State would get a reality check on March 10.
In Prayagraj, Mr. Modi once again brought current concerns in international affairs to the U.P. polls. “In the changed global scenario, you need a strong national government, which is not possible without a strong government in Uttar Pradesh,” he said.
