‘SP has moved from Samajwad to Pariwarwad’

Kushinagar, Oct 20 (PTI):
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday took a dig at the Samajwadi Party, saying it has deviated from the ideology of Ram Manohar Lohia with its leaders promoting ‘pariwarwad’ (dynasty) instead of practising ‘samajwad’ (socialism) and people suffered when its government was in power in Uttar Pradesh.
Modi made the remark while addressing a rally after inaugurating an international airport at Kushinagar and laying foundation stones of several other projects in Uttar Pradesh ahead of the upcoming assembly elections. “Ram Manohar Lohia ji used to say that ‘karma’ (deed) should be linked to ‘karuna’ (compassion) and it should be executed with full compassion.
But those running the previous government (apparently referring to Samajwadi Party) were not bothered about the pain of the poor,” he said. “The previous government’s deeds were linked to scams and crime. The people of Uttar Pradesh know very well that these people are not ‘samajwadis’ (socialists) but ‘pariwarwadis’ (dynasts),” he said.
“These people know how to benefit their own families only and have forgotten about the welfare of the society and Uttar Pradesh,” Modi said in a dig at the Samajwadi Party leadership. The launch of several projects, including the laying of foundation stone for a medical college ahead of the Uttar Pradesh polls holds significance for Poorvanchal — the state’s eastern region comprising 164 assembly seats across its 28 districts.
Modi added that such a big and populous state like Uttar Pradesh was once considered a “challenge” for any big campaign.”But Uttar Pradesh today is playing a leading role in the success of every big mission. This was witnessed in the implementation of the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan and the drive against COVID-19. The highest average daily vaccination in the country takes place in Uttar Pradesh,” the prime minister pointed out.
