Finally, on the eve of the sixth phase of polling in the state, PM Modi demanded that the BJP will return to power in order to maintain the continuity of development in Uttar Pradesh. At the same time, he said that he is sure that the BJP has almost formed a government in the country’s largest state. Many BJP leaders feel that Modi’s grip on Varanasi for three days in a row in the last phase of the polls is proof of that.
The two main opposition parties, the Samajwadi Party and the Congress, have dismissed Modi’s claim that the BJP needs to win in order to continue the development progress that has begun in Uttar Pradesh.
Opposition leaders have repeatedly said that the state has moved backward during the Modi-Yogi era. After Modi’s demand of this day, the question of the opposition is, does the Prime Minister consider the development as the only way forward? At the same time, many reminded that under the Modi government, India has increased its development level in everything from economics to unemployment to international relations. The situation is similar in other BJP-ruled states.
