In his first public speech after the demonetisation drive ended on December 30, Prime Minister Narendra Modi appealed to the people of Uttar Pradesh to cast their vote for development. He was addressing BJP’s Parivartan rally in Lucknow. PM Modi added that Uttar Pradesh has seen no development in the last 14 years ever since BJP lost power in the state. Without naming either the Samajwadi Party or BSP, PM Modi said it is unfortunate that development is not the priority for the rulers here. Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh and BJP President AMit Shah also addressed the gathering. This rally is being seen as a culmination of the four Parivartan yatras carried out by the BJP in the state recently.
