In a fiery speech at a rally in Azamgarh, Prime Minister Narendra Modi slammed the opposition for spreading false information about the Citizenship Act. He boldly declared that the law is here to stay, no matter what the opposition tries to do.
Modi was addressing the crowd a day after the first set of citizenship certificates were issued to 14 people under the Citizenship Act. He emphasized that work has already begun to grant citizenship to refugees, who have been living in the country for a long time and have been victims of the partition on the basis of religion. These refugees include Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, and Buddhists.
The prime minister lashed out at the Congress and the SP for their neglect of these refugees and for trying to incite riots by spreading lies about the CAA. He accused them of being frauds and causing communal tensions in the country. He also made it clear that no one can remove the CAA, despite the claims of the opposition's alliance.
Modi also addressed the issue of Article 370, which granted special status to Jammu and Kashmir. He stated that the recent polling held in Kashmir shows that the people there are proud to participate in the festival of democracy. He pointed out that the high turnout in Srinagar is proof that no one can bring back Article 370 and play vote bank politics.
In the past, Azamgarh was often associated with blasts and terrorism. However, the prime minister proudly declared that the identity of Azamgarh has changed for the better in the last decade. He criticized the previous SP government for doing nothing for the development of the region and accused them of pardoning terrorists and giving cover to sleeper cells.
Modi also took a dig at the SP and Congress for their alliance and accused them of selling lies, appeasement, corruption, and dynasty politics. He warned the people of their triple dose of appeasement, which includes snatching reservations from SCs, STs, and OBCs, dividing the country's budget, and giving a large portion of it to the minority.
The prime minister also praised Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for improving the law and order situation in the state and cracking down on mafia, rioters, and extortionists. He highlighted the success of his cleanliness campaign in the state under Adityanath's leadership.
Modi was joined on stage by the BJP's Lalganj Lok Sabha candidate Neelam Sonkar and Azamgarh candidate Dinesh Lal Yadav 'Nirahua'. The two constituencies will go to polls in the fifth phase of the Lok Sabha election on May 25. The prime minister ended his speech by urging the people to vote for progress and development.
