Development is the only answer to all the problems of the people of Uttar Pradesh,” he said. Wherever BJP is in power, development has taken place, be it in Haryana, Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Jharkhand,” Modi added. “Victory in Uttar Pradesh is very important for Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP. The last BJP chief minister of Uttar Pradesh was Rajnath Singh—the current Union home minister—who ruled from 2000 to 2002. We have to take the story of development forward and it can happen only if the people of Uttar Pradesh give their blessings to me,” Modi said.
