BJP will bring back Uttar Pradesh its ancient glory: PM Modi in UP

Published By : Admin | April 14, 2019 | 14:30 IST
Since 2014, our government made ‘Sabka Sath, Sabka Vikas’ its guiding mantra to work equally for every Indian: PM Modi in UP
We all remember how the leaders who based their politics on Dr. Ambedkar decieved his values and allied themselves with dynastic and caste politics: Prime Minister Modi
I am convinced that the people of UP will support us wholeheartedly in these elections: PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed two massive rallies in Aligarh and Moradabad in Uttar Pradesh today. 

Enlisting the key achievements of his government since 2014, PM Modi said, “Since 2014, our government made ‘Sabka Sath, Sabka Vikas’ its guiding mantra to work equally for every Indian. While we constructed millions of toilets and increased the sanitation coverage in the nation from 38% in 2014 to 98% in 2019, we also curbed high inflation and made annual income upto ₹5 lakh tax-free. While we opened bank accounts for nearly every Indian household, we also increased the MSP of farmers’ produce to one and half times their cost. So, in effect, we have devoted our five years to improve the life of every Indian without discriminating on the basis of caste, religion or economic status.” 

Lashing out at the Opposition parties such as Congress, BSP and SP for their decades of neglect and apathy towards the people of Uttar Pradesh, Prime Minister Modi said, “We all remember how the leaders who based their politics on the name of Dr. Ambedkar decieved his values and allied themselves with divisive politics of caste and dynasty. The people also clearly remember the time when Western UP was burning and people were forced to flee their homes and businesses. That is why the people of Uttar Pradesh stood strongly in support of the BJP in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections and said that UP wants development and not caste politics.

The same was reiterated in 2017 when the people elected a BJP government with an overwhelming majority saying they want progress and not politics of caste and appeasement. I am certain the people will again stand with us in the ongoing Lok Sabha elections and strengthen our resolve to develop Uttar Pradesh rapidly and bring back its days of glory.” 

 

Questioning the ‘Maha-Milawat’ leaders in Uttar Pradesh, SP, BSP and Congress about their vision for the future of India, PM Modi said, “I want to ask their leaders if they have a vision to develop India in the future. Do they plan to keep on playing their divisive politics of caste and votebank appeasement in the future too? If so, they must know that the people of Uttar Pradesh no longer trust such parties or their leaders. They want a government that works for them, that puts the ‘country-first’ instead of ‘family-first.’ That is why, the Congress and SP leaders have resorted to name-calling and call me a ‘Chowkidar of Shauchalaya’ (Keeper of toilets). But let me tell them, I am proud to have played a part in ensuring dignity and respect to millions of my sisters and daughters by building toilets for them. Such comments only show the narrow mentality of these parties and their blind hatred for Modi.

Despite being sworn enemies of each other for decades, SP-BSP have now joined hands in an opportunist alliance with the sole purpose to defeat Modi. Modi has become an existential threat to parties like SP-BSP and so they are leaving no stone unturned to defeat me. However, I have full faith in the people of my country and that they will never support such parties who have no agenda but to enrich themselves, not the people.”

2024 - Vikas Ki Vijay: Decoding the Modi Era of BJP’s Electoral Dominance
December 31, 2024

The 2024 elections cemented the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s place in the annals of Indian political history. With 240 seats for BJP and 49 from its allies, Modi’s third consecutive term is not just a mandate but a movement exemplified; a movement for development, a movement for India’s rise. While this triumph stands as a testament to the BJP’s governance model and the enduring connection PM Modi has forged with the masses, it is the remarkable success of the BJP and NDA (National Democratic Alliance) in Assembly elections of various states that have demolished Congress’s attempts to undermine PM Modi’s influence post-2024.

The Inflection Point: Modi’s Ascendancy in 2014

The 2014 general elections marked the BJP’s shift from opposition to dominance. Shri Modi’s leadership turned the BJP into into a cohesive and relentlessly innovative political powerhouse. His mantra of Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas gave voters a vision of inclusive growth. In fact, for the first time in the history of the Indian republic that a leader not only led his party to victory three consecutive times, but did so while increasing the votes polled in every election. From more than 17 crore votes in 2014, the party surged to nearly 23 crore in 2019, and a historic 23.5 crore in 2024.

When compared with Congress under Jawaharlal Nehru, the Congress’ votes dropped by over 60 lakh votes after his consecutive election. This growth underscores the impact of a leader who has not just inspired but galvanized the nation.

From the heart of rural India to the bustling urban centres, PM Modi’s vision for building a Viksit Bharat by 2047, when India celebrates the centenary of its Independence from the British, has resonated universally. In six states and UTs, the BJP managed to win all seats, and in Odisha, Gujarat and Chhattisgarh, the BJP missed the 100% mark by just one seat.

The Congress would be well suited to recollect that the total seats it managed to win in 2014, 2019 and 2024 falls short of the BJP’s tally in 2024 alone – a mandate the Congress said, is synonymous with the ‘Grand-old’ Party’s resurgence.

Defying Anti-Incumbency: Breaking Records in Multiple States

In a country where anti-incumbency has traditionally dominated electoral narratives, the BJP under PM Modi has redefined the rules of engagement. The party’s ability to retain power in states like Haryana, Arunachal Pradesh, and Maharashtra exemplifies this shift.

In Haryana, the BJP’s journey from 4 seats in 2009 to an unprecedented 48 seats in 2024 demonstrates how a consistent focus on governance and development can overcome political fatigue. The party’s appeal extended across Jat-dominated regions and urban centers, increasing its vote share in every successive election.

Meanwhile, in Arunachal Pradesh, the BJP’s governance model achieved an emphatic third term with 46 out of 60 assembly seats. The vote share crossed 54%, a ringing endorsement of its people-centric policies. In Maharashtra, the Mahayuti Alliance’s triumph with 235 out of 288 seats is a testament to the BJP’s coalition strategy and its resonance with voters across the state. From urban strongholds to rural bastions, Modi’s leadership and the alliance’s cohesive vision captured the electorate’s trust.

Charting New Territories: Odisha and Andhra Pradesh

PM Modi’s leadership has been instrumental in the NDA’s ability to breach strongholds of regional parties, as evidenced by the remarkable victories in Odisha and Andhra Pradesh. In Odisha, the BJP not only ended the BJD’s 24-year reign but also formed a government for the first time, capturing 78 of the 147 assembly seats and 20 of the 21 Lok Sabha seats. This triumph was driven by grassroots mobilization and a focus on last-mile development, embodying Modi’s vision of inclusive progress.

Similarly, in Andhra Pradesh, the BJP-led NDA alliance achieved a landslide victory, securing 164 out of 175 assembly seats. The coalition’s ability to address developmental concerns resonated with voters across the state. The election saw a surge in female voter turnout, a reflection of PM Modi’s efforts to empower women through policies like the Naari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam.

Modi’s Magic: The Ultimate Differentiator

While the BJP’s organizational strength is a significant factor in its electoral success, it is PM Modi’s unparalleled connection with the electorate that remains the defining element. Modi’s image as a leader who delivers on promises has become synonymous with transformative governance. Programs like the PM Ujjwala Yojana, Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, and Jal Jeevan Mission have not only improved lives but also created an enduring trust in Modi’s leadership.

The Naari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam, ensuring 33% reservation for women in legislatures, highlights Modi’s commitment to gender equality. In 2024, women voters constituted nearly half the electorate, a fact reflected in the BJP’s robust performance across the nation. Additionally, states under BJP’s double-engine governance model—where central and state governments work in tandem—have witnessed exponential growth.

The Vision Ahead: Electoral Reforms for a Modern Democracy

Our electoral process is not merely a tool for choosing leaders but a celebration of collective decision-making that reflects the aspirations of over a billion people. To uphold the sanctity of this process, it is imperative to ensure elections are efficient, transparent, and inclusive, thus strengthening the democratic fabric of the nation.

The BJP, under PM Modi, is moving forward with a vision to strengthen the democratic process itself. The “One Nation, One Election” proposal represents a bold step towards synchronizing state and national elections, aiming to reduce costs, streamline governance, and minimize disruptions. With an estimated saving of Rs. 4.5 lakh crore, this initiative reflects the BJP’s commitment to optimizing resources and enhancing efficiency.

The Congress, which invariably cites discrepancies in the EVMs, conveniently forgets that it was under the BJP and NDA rule that VVPAT – a second layer of authentication – was fully integrated into the election process. These reforms signify a vision where electoral processes are not just a means to an end but a reflection of India’s vibrant democracy.

The Unwavering Connection with India

As Congress’s narratives of a diminishing impact of the Prime Minister’s influence collapse under the weight of BJP’s electoral achievements, it becomes evident that PM Modi’s leadership is unparalleled in Indian politics.

The BJP and NDA are now in government in as many as 16 States and UTs. Even when we consider the past one year alone, the NDA has managed to win in every region vis-à-vis Haryana in the North, Maharashtra in the West, Odisha in East, Andhra Pradesh in the South and Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim in the Northeast.

From retaining strongholds to breaching new territories, the BJP’s rise under PM Modi is a story of transformation, trust, and triumph. His unwavering connection with the electorate and his ability to translate vision into action ensure that the BJP’s momentum remains unstoppable, term after term, year after year.

These elections therefore, are not just a testament to Shri Modi’s leadership but were, in all fairness, a celebration of India’s collective aspirations for a brighter, more prosperous future.
