Varanasi/ LucknowL: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday mocked Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav for the rape charges that his minister Gayatri Prajapati faces, as he accused the state government for not having him arrested despite Supreme Court’s orders.
“While people recite Gayatri Mantra before starting anything auspicious the Samajwadi -Congress alliance chants Gayatri Prajapati mantra” Modi said at the Parivartan Sankalp rally in Jaunpur.
Attacking the Samajwadi government for the poor law and order situation, the prime minister said that in UP police stations worked like the Samajwadi Party office.
“I promise that when the BJP comes to power in UP the police stations will function like police stations and the jails would return to being jails and not remain the citadels of the bahubaali (musclemen),” Modi said, claiming the BJP would celebrate Holi with its victory in UP.
In reaction to Yadav’s oft-repeated remark that even Modi would vote for the SP if he travelled by the newly built Agra-Lucknow Expressway, he claimed that even the CM would refuse to vote for his party if he cycled down the road with his ‘new-found friend’ (referring to Rahul Gandhi without naming him).
Exited crowds of mostly young men jostled to be caught on television cameras, forcing Modi to pause on several occasions to call for calm.
