Kanpur train accident a conspiracy, says Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi yesterday termed last November’s train accident in Kanpur a “conspiracy” and urged people not to vote for those “who help conspirators”.
Speaking at an election rally here, Modi also slammed the Akhilesh Yadav government for “protecting and patronising” the “copying mafia” that harmed the future of the youth.
Modi said: “Gonda shares its border with Nepal... Few days back there was a train accident... Some people were caught and the police found out that it was a conspiracy... the conspirators are on the other side of the border.”
He said people should not vote for anyone who would “help conspirators from across the border”.
“If the enemies want to run their business from the other side of the border, people in Gonda need to be cautious. If such people are elected who help the conspirators, will Gonda be safe? If Gonda is not safe will the nation be safe?” Modi said.
“The people of Gonda are patriots, they should be in power. There should be no mistake in elections, whether it is the Samajwadi Party (SP) or the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), none of them should win. Vote for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and make it victorious.”
Modi also accused the Akhilesh Yadav-led-SP government of protecting and patronising the “copying mafia” in the state which was harming the future of the youth.
The prime minister said the mafia was not only out to loot the poor but was also engaged in jeopardising the future of the youth .
Modi said: “When I was thinking about speaking on the issue, I must honestly admit I was slightly scared as this topic heard on television... could give ideas to anti-social elements in other parts of the nation to replicate the SP modus operandi.”
Inspired by the public applause, Modi said the “copying mafia” business has to end.
He also slammed the law and order situation in the state. Modi said: “No justice can be expected from the police stations (in Uttar Prades) as they are helpless. They await nod from SP bosses.”
Urging the people to uproot the corrupt government in the state, Modi asked them to “end” the rule of SP and warned them against the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP).
Modi also claimed that the BJP had got huge support from the people in the first four phases of polling and that the writing on the wall was evident from the despondent face of Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav.
“You have given a stable government at the Centre... and now you have to strengthen our hands further...,” he urged.

Scared PM tries to spread communalism: Rahul
Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi yesterday slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying “when he gets sacred, he tries to create tension between two religions”. “When Modi gets scared, he tries to spread communalism and create tension among people belonging to two religions. He tries to spread poison in the society,” said Gandhi during a public rally here. Attacking the prime minister, Rahul Gandhi said: “He keeps lying. He promised to give Rs1.5mn to every Indian, 20mn  jobs, loan waiver to the farmers.  Modi has been benevolent towards the rich and has waived their loans, but not the loans of farmers,” he added. “We (Congress) waived off the loans of the farmers, gave them food security and MNREGA,” said Gandhi. He also said the Modi government has not been able to send “a single person accused of keeping black money” to jail and that 94% of black money is still stashed away in foreign countries.
