Prime Minister Narendra Modi called Congress and Samajwadi Party "sympathisers of Pakistan" and alleged that these parties are "scaring the country" with its nuclear power status
Taking a swipe at both the parties over their claim of winning 79 seats in Uttar Pradesh, the PM said that on June 4, the people of UP will wake them from their slumber
On Pakistan, Modi said, "Pakistan is finished but it's sympathisers, SP and Congress, are busy scaring the country
He slammed the Congress and Samajwadi Party for their refusal to accept the invitation to attend the Ram temple in Ayodhya
He further alleged that Congress had designs to get the Supreme Court to overturn its verdict on the temple
Seeking the public's support, the PM said their votes will bury the "politics of appeasement in kabristan" and ensure the future of the country
Adityanath in his address expressed confidence of thumping victory for the BJP. "When we talk of crossing 400, SP and Congress start fainting because they are not even contesting on 400 seats together."
BJP's Harish Dwivedi is pitted against Ram Prasad Chaudhary of Samajwadi Party. Polling in Basti will be held in the sixth phase on May 25
