"For this, arrogance, casteism, poison of communalism, corruption, nepotism will have to be sacrificed in the holy fire (yagya) to start the new journey of development," Modi said to the cheers of the party cadre and admirers who repeatedly shouted 'Modi, Modi, Modi'. The Prime Minister said 1,529 villages of Uttar Pradresh are living in "darkness of 18th century". The Prime Minister referred to employment for youth and said how the Centre has done away with interviews for class III and IV jobs to eliminate middlemen. He claimed that BJP-ruled states are high on the development rankings but UP is yet to enjoy the benefits of development. He repeatedly asked the people whether they have not been troubled by the ills of casteism, corruption, communalism and nepotism.
