During a campaign event for the Lok Sabha elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi targeted Congress MP Rahul Gandhi and Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav, claiming he had been informed that their tickets for a foreign trip post-elections had already been booked.
Addressing a public meeting in Fatehpur district, Modi said, “Dreams of Congress and Samajwadi Party got shattered, and now they are planning for post-June 4 and who to blame for their defeat. I have been informed by someone that their tickets for a foreign trip have been booked.”
Continuing his attack, Modi asserted that the Congress has no significant presence in Uttar Pradesh. “The entire Congress is focused on safeguarding the respect of a single family. Yet, the alliance of these two parties is launched every election because their compatibility matches—they are both dedicated to family interests, engaged in politics for corruption, and willing to do anything to please their vote bank. Both promote criminals and mafias and are equally sympathetic to terrorists,” he said, as reported by ANI.
Modi also criticized Akhilesh Yadav for visiting the ancestral house of deceased gangster-turned-politician Mukhtar Ansari in Ghazipur. “SP’s love for mafias hasn’t ended yet; their party chief is paying respects at the grave of a mafia. Pakistan used to attack our country, and Congress would give them a clean chit, weaving a false narrative of ‘Saffron Terrorism’. The SP government in UP used to provide hospitality to rioters and even take helicopters to visit them,” he added.
