Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in a rally held in Amroha, Uttar Pradesh, on Friday, took aim at the alliance between Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi, referring to them as the "film starring two princes" that has been rejected by the people of Uttar Pradesh.
Accusing the Opposition of attacking "our faith" and carrying the basket of "nepotism, corruption, and appeasement," PM Modi asserted, "Once again the shooting of a film starring two princes is going on in UP, which has already been rejected."
Earlier this week, Akhilesh Yadav and Rahul Gandhi had jointly claimed that the BJP would win just 150 seats in the Lok Sabha elections during a press conference.
PM Modi also criticized the Samajwadi Party and the Congress for rejecting the invitation for the Pran Pratishtha of Ayodhya's Ram Temple in January, stating, "When Ram temple was built in Ayodhya, both SP and Congress parties rejected the invitation for Pran Pratishtha."
He further criticized the politics of appeasement, attributing it to previous instances of unrest in Western UP, while extolling the strides made under the BJP government's tenure in the state.
