During the rally in Gorakhpur, the chief minister also hailed the prime minister, saying terrorism and corruption have been eradicated from India under Modi's leadership.
«In contrast, during the rule of Congress and the Samajwadi Party, the day would begin with a news about a scam and end with a terrorist explosion. Today, even if a firecracker bursts, Pakistan clarifies it has no involvement,» he said.
