Requesting the Uttar Pradesh (UP) electorate to vote in large numbers for the fifth phase, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said the Bharatiya Janata Party is capable of winning majority in the state.
“Today (Monday) is fifth phase of UP elections is happening and I request all the voters to vote in this festival of democracy,” Modi said, adding, “We are capable of winning majority on our own, but small parties in alliance with us will get representation in the Cabinet”.
“India is scaling newer heights of progress. It is due to the 125 crore Indians. UP too can develop. It needs a stable BJP Government,” Modi said during an election rally in Mau (Uttar Pradesh).
Modi said that the Samajwadi Party (SP) and the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) know the strength of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and that is why they don’t want the BJP to get a clear majority.
“SP, BSP are well aware that they'd be defeated in these elections. And, now they are creating an environment that no party gets majority,” Modi said.
“As the elections are progressing, people of Uttar Pradesh have made up their minds to support the BJP,” he added.
Meanwhile, asking the nation to use digital facilities and promote cashless economy, Modi said, “I call upon the people of India to download the BHIM App & get 125 more people to download the App by 14th April, Dr. Ambedkar’s Jayanti”.
The fifth phase polling for the 51 Assembly constituencies was being helfd on Monday in over 11 districts of the state.
