He said it was the first time in the past few decades that any government was seeking votes for its “good work, clean image, ensuring development without discrimination and improved law and order”.

Addressing a gathering in Khajuri, Modi claimed that people in the past six phases osf the UP polls have voted in the national interest and proincumbency was evident. “It is the last public meeting in this election at the same ground from where people had blown the bugle of victory in the country in 2014. And it is for the first time in the past many decades that pro-incumbency is evident as people are showing commitment to retain the BJPled government…,” he said.
