Mumbai: While inaugurating Purvanchal Expressway in the poll-bound state of Uttar Pradesh, Prime Minister Narendra Modi hit out the previous government ruling UP and said that they did not do justice to the people of the state.
“The Govt before Yogi ji did injustice to people of UP. The manner in which they discriminated in development, the manner in which they did welfare of only their family – people of UP will permanently remove them from the path of the state’s development, you did this in 2017,” PM Modi in Sultanpur.
Attacking the previous ruling parties, Modi expressed displeasure about the state 7-8 years back and asserted that he started working for the development of UP in 2014 when he became an MP.
“I used to be surprised by the situation 7-8 yrs back. I used to be surprised that what are some people punishing UP for? So, in 2014 when you gave me the opportunity to serve this great nation, I started going into the minute details of its development – as its MP, as the PM,” PM Modi said.
Modi shared his experience when he would come to UP as an MP but the government would not cooperate with him towards the development of the state.
“I initiated a lot of projects for UP. Poor were given pucca houses, toilets were ensured in their houses so that women don’t need to step out to relieve themselves, that every house should have electricity – a lot of such things were necessary to be taken up here.”
He added, “But I’m pained that the then UP govt didn’t cooperate. They were also scared of upsetting their vote banks by standing beside me in public. I used to come as an MP, they used to disappear after receiving me at the airport. They were ashamed as they had nothing to show like work.”
