'Like Bihar, BJP Will Lose in UP Too'

Rahul Gandhi urged the crowd to pick the SP-Congress alliance and said that the BJP would face a repeat of the Bihar assembly polls in Uttar Pradesh.

After his defeat in Bihar, PM Modi has stopped speaking about Bihar; after his UP defeat he will never speak about UP again.

He slammed the demonetisation initiative and the ‘Make in India’ campaign. “You (the public) say PM Modi murdabad. I know you are angry. Go and vote against the BJP and make SP-Congress win 300 seats,” he said.

PM Modi says I am against corruption. But after demonetisation, there was not a rich man in the queue, no ‘suit boot’ person was seen. The farmers don’t take cheques, they take cash. PM Modi has created problem for the poor.
