“Today, women fear to venture out after dark in the state. Young girls are scared of going to schools.
“This evil has been sheltered by the ruling party leaders in the state. It is nursing the criminals. The law and order has failed as powerful people with protection of the ruling party are controlling police in their areas,” Modi alleged.
“There is corruption in jobs, poor farmers and middle-class people’s lands have been snatched away. There are 40,000 complaints registered under the Arms Act,” he said.
If BJP forms government in UP, Modi said, “I promise you we will form a special task force to ensure that lands looted from farmers and middle-class people would be restored.”
“We have also been asking for CAG audit of irregularities in GDA but the UP governance has not agreed. Once we form a government in UP, we will ensure that GDA and other development authorities are audited,” he said.
