PM Modi targetted Samajwadi Party for inviting a leader who had called the people of UP ''goondas'' to campaign in UP polls.
After the public show of support by West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for Samajwadi Party (SP) president Akhilesh Yadav in Lucknow, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday took a jibe at the SP for inviting a leader who had called the people of UP ''goondas'' (goons) to campaign in the UP Assembly elections.
With campaigning coming to an end for the first phase of polls covering 58 seats in 11 western Uttar Pradesh districts this evening, PM Modi, while addressing a virtual rally, said that the rival parties are daydreaming about the division of votes in the region but people will defeat them again like in the past.
Touching on the issue of triple talaq, PM Modi also reached out to Muslim voters, especially women, saying they gave him the strength to end this practice and will vote for the 'lotus', BJP's poll symbol.
PM Modi was addressing the rally for assembly seats in Rampur, Badaun and Sambhal that will go to vote in the second phase of polling on February 14.
