Hardoi
(UP), Launching
a hard-hitting attack on SP, BSP and Congress, Narendra Modi today said the
“power game by the clan of three parties” is responsible for the poor plight of
UP and the nation even as he ridiculed Rahul Gandhi for visiting homes of the
poor like tourists who visit Taj Mahal.
Playing
up his tea-vendor image, the BJP’s Prime Ministerial candidate also sought to
contrast it with those “born with a silver spoon in their mouth” and made an
oblique reference to his OBC origin as he reached to voters in the Hindi
heartland.Promising
to cleanse the political system and Parliament from criminal elements, Modi
said that his first job after the formation of a new government will be to set
up a committee to probe the pending criminal cases against MPs cutting across
party lines.
“While
the country has been destroyed by the governments of mother and son, Uttar
Pradesh has been destroyed by a father-son government. On one hand there is a
father-son duo while on the other hand is Behenji (Mayawati)…they waste their
whole tenure of five years in teaching a lesson to each other.“And
mother and son (Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi) simply add fuel to the fire,
inflame it. This clan of SP, BSP and Congress is thriving here in this manner.
Enough of this game of power has continued. Now give me a chance to serve you,”
Modi said.Targeting
both Congress and SP for practising dynastic politics and nepotism, the BJP
leader was quite acerbic in his criticism of Congress President Sonia Gandhi’s
son-in-law Robert Vadra.“For them
all that matters is dynasty and nepotism. And now even even the extended family
is being covered. They are those, who are not ready to recognize the power of
the community beyond their family members.
“These
people, who think that that only their sons and daughters will do something and
are concerned only with them or their uncle-aunt and insulting the future of
Uttar Pradesh,” he said.Mocking
Rahul over his visits to the homes of the poor and Dalits, Modi said that he
goes to the poor to understand how does a poor person look as he has not seen
poverty like someone, who has not seen Taj Mahal visits Agra to see it.“In the
same fashion, Rahul Bhaiya visits here to see the poor. These people who are
born with a silver spoon in their mouth want to see poverty. They wonder
whether the poor have two legs, two hands, does the poor also have a voice.These
people go on poverty tourism,” he said.Alleging
that poverty is a “tourist destination” for Gandhi, Modi said, “Whenever he
goes for this, he is accompanied by a crew of television cameras.
He picks
up a child in his lap for a good snap and immediately after the photo session
is over, the child is put back on the ground.”Seeking
to contrast it with his own “poor” childhood, the BJP’s PM pick made an attempt
to hardsell his tea-vendor image, he said, “I am born in poverty. I know how it
feels during a cold winter night. I remember people used to slap me on my face,
whenever the tea served by me used to be cold. The scars still remain.”
Hitting
out at those who “mock” his childhood and poverty, the Gujarat Chief
Minister said, “I have no regrets that I was born in a poor or backward family.
I feel sad when leaders of SP, BSP and Congress make mockery of it and say
whether a tea vendor can run the country.This
shows the mentality of these leaders. They have become so haughty that they
mock poverty. This does not concern Modi.“What is
under question is the mentality of these leaders, who mock my poverty, my
childhood every now and then.They
should hear it out. I have sold tea and am proud of it. I have not done
anything like selling the nation”.
Vowing to
decriminalise politics and Parliament, Modi rued that residents have to carry
guns in Uttar Pradesh for security and attacked parties like SP and BSP saying
those who function with the help of goons cannot fight goondaism.“I have
decided that when a new government is formed after May 16, I will set up a
committee to find out what cases are pending against whom. Candidates submit in
their form during filing nominations the details of cases against them.
I will
not discriminate in it. I will not spare whether those are from BJP or NDA“I will
ask the Supreme Court to hear the cases fast. Those, who have committed crime
will go to jail and their seats will go to candidates with clean image. No
accused will dare to fight polls.
