Mausami leaders disappeared during Covid-19, Samajwadi Party worked to get terrorists released: Modi

New Delhi (23/02/2022): In a veiled attack at the previous Uttar Pradesh governments, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said that history has shown that State is not secure in the hands of family-oriented political parties.

“History shows that the state is not secure in the hands of family-oriented political parties. There were back-to-back terrorist attacks in Uttar Pradesh during their rules. Unfortunately, instead of punishing the terrorists of these blasts, the Samajwadi government worked to get them released,” said while addressing an election rally in Kaushambi.

Taking a dig at Opposition leaders, the Prime Minister said that the ‘mausami’ (seasonal) leaders disappeared during the COVID-19 peak, reappeared at the time of the election and will again disappear after election results will be announced.

He further said that dynastic politics deprived the region of development.

“During the reign of the past governments, criminals roamed freely and forcefully took possession of other people’s land and properties. Our mothers and daughters felt unsafe while coming out of their homes. Instead of providing good governance, the previous governments exploited the people and their leaders built lavish palaces. We on the other hand have made homes for the poor.”

Taking a jibe at Akhilesh Yadav, he said several scams came to light including mining, ambulance, food grain and riverfront during the Samajwadi party’s rule.

“Scams were the secret of their rule. Mining Scam, Food Scam, Ambulance Scam, River Front Scam. Today every penny of the State is being spent on the welfare of the people. Past governments have done the work of saving terrorists. Today, talent is being respected and industries are being set up in every district of the state.”
