Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Thursday that this Lok Sabha election is an opportunity for the country to choose a leader who can run a strong government which "makes the world aware of India's strength,” reported PTI.


Modi was addressing an election rally organised at a college ground in Jaunpur in support of BJP candidates Kripashankar Singh from the Jaunpur parliamentary constituency and sitting MP BP Saroj from the Machhlishahr (reserved) seat.


"This election is an opportunity to choose the prime minister of the country. Such a prime minister who runs a strong government which cannot be dominated by the world but which makes the world aware of India's strength," he said.


"Therefore, when you vote for our Kripashankar ji from Jaunpur, BP Saroj ji from Machhlishahr, your vote forms a strong government. The votes given to them will go directly into Modi's account," the prime minister said.

Amid slogans of 'Jai Shri Ram' and 'Har Har Modi', Modi said, "Your enthusiasm shows that you have made it difficult for the INDI alliance to win even a single seat in Uttar Pradesh."

Speaking on the development in Kashi-Ayodhya, he said, "You have seen in Kashi how a strong government works. We are seeing it happen in Ayodhya."

"Earlier when people used to talk about development, sometimes the discussion was about Delhi, sometimes about Mumbai. Now, the country and the world also talks about Kashi-Ayodhya," Modi added.

"It is my pledge to make a developed India and the growth engine of developed India will be Purvanchal. Modi and Yogi are going to change the picture and fate of Purvanchal in the next five years," he said.

Voting will be held in Jaunpur and Machhlishahr on May 25. In the 2019 polls, BSP’s Shyam Singh Yadav had won the Jaunpur constituency defeating BJP’s Krishna Pratap Singh. The sitting MP has been given a ticket this election as well from the same constituency. The Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) had earlier named MP Dhananjay Singh’s wife Shrikala Dhananjay Singh before changing it to Yadav on May 6.
