PM Narendra Modi targets SP, says its family members 'looted' UP

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday took a swipe at the Samajwadi Party, saying they had distributed areas among family members for "loot" during their rule in the state. Addressing an election rally for 10 assembly constituencies of Kanpur, Kanpur Dehat and Jalaun districts, PM Modi also derided the TMC for saying that it is fighting elections in Goa to 'divide' Hindu votes.

Modi asked the people whether they would like to vote for a party that would create "mafia ganj" in every district of the state.

The prime minister said the law against triple talaq has saved thousands of Muslim women in Uttar Pradesh.
