At Gorakhpur, Narendra Modi reacts to Mulayam Singh’s remark

Ahmedabad, 23 January 2014

Wary of Narendra Modi’s growing popularity, Samajwadi Party supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav on Saturday said he and his party will not let Uttar Pradesh turn into Gujarat and will chase the BJP’s prime ministerial candidate away.

Gujarat Chief Minister Shri Narendra Modi today while addressing Gorakhpur rally today hit back and said “Netaji” is unable to deliver 24 hours electricity, 10% average decadal agricultural growth, employment, safety and peace like Gujarat.

“Netaji has challenged us today in Banaras. I am happy that these days wherever I go, father and son both follow me. And today they said Modiji ki haisiyat nahi hai ki UP ko Gujarat bana sake.”

“Netaji do you know what it means to make Gujarat? It means 24 hours power for 365 days to every village and every street.”

“Netaji you are right, aapki haisiyat nahi hain. You can’t make Gujarat, it takes 56 inch chest, you just can’t make it.”

“Netaji, Gujarat means decadal 10% agriculture growth rate, unlike 3-4% growth rate which is an example of your haisiyat.”

“Netaji, you can’t make Gujarat. Ten years have passed. Gujarat is progressing happily and peacefully. You can’t do that.”

“I will be happy if you convert Uttar Pradesh into Gujarat. It will give employment to people. But you(Mulayam Singh) can’t do it.”

“Your government has got so big support(in terms of clear majority). What are you doing on the fronts of employment, peace and safety of women? For your politics, you have ruined the state. We have pledged to make it prosperous.”

Modi said, Uttar Pradesh has strength to single handedly remove poverty from India. UP can single handedly deliver employment. It can covert the outlook of India.

Modi said an era of vote bank politics is over. New generation want safety of their future.

Modi slammed Mulayam government over closed sugar mills, issues pertaining to sugarcane farmers and fertilizers.

Modi said why Amul model can’t be implemented in Uttar Pradesh?

He said, “India is not poor country. It is a rich country that has been made poor. Country is rich and people can also be rich. We have to fight year 2014 elections for that.”

Modi promised happiness and peace if people elect him for 60 months in upcoming Lok Sabha general elections.

Modi coined a slogan, ‘SaBKa malik ek’ meaning Sa for Samajwadi Party, B for Bahujan Samaj Party and Ka for Congress party, and pointed out that vote to these party will result into vote for Gandhi/Nehru family.
