Kanpur: As voting is underway in the second phase for Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a public rally in Kanpur Dehat, covering 10 Kanpur seats,  on Monday. 

At the outset, PM Modi said, "Voting turnout in the second phase polling in Uttar Pradesh points at BJP returning to power again." 

The Prime Minister resorted to attacking the dynastic politics of the Samajwadi Party and Congress. 

PM Modi said, "The 'Parivaarwadi' [dynasts] will again be defeated by the people of Uttar Pradesh. The festival of colours- Holi will be celebrated in Uttar Pradesh on 10th March itself." 

He alleged that if opposition parties voted to power,  dynastic politics and 'mafia' rule will return to the states. 

"If they had their way, they would have made Kanpur and other such areas in UP, a 'mafia ganj' mohalla. Now their 'mafiagiri' is counting its last breath. These 'parivaarvadi' want to give power to these mafias again. UP public will have to stay alert."

On the condition of Muslim girls in the state, he said, "The Muslim girls feel safe under the BJP rule in Uttar Pradesh. Many more number of Muslim girls are going to schools and colleges in the state now." 

He further said that before 2017  Uttar Pradesh had ration scams every other day. They made lakhs of fake ration cards. Double engine government ended this fake ration card scheme.

"Today, crores of the UP public are receiving ration free of cost. The stoves of my poor sisters and mothers will never be turned off," he added

The public meeting of the PM was organised in Rania Akbarpur assembly seat of Kanpur Dehat. He said party supporters from Bithoor, Bilhaur and Ghatampur assemblies of Kanpur, Kanpur Rural, Rasoolabad, Rania Akbarpur, Sikandra and Bhognipur, Madhogarh, Orai and Kalpi will reach the rally ground to listen to the PM.
