With the campaigning for the fifth phase of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections scheduled to end today, several top leaders from the BJP and other parties are scheduled to hold rallies in the state today. 60 assembly seats of the 11 districts of Amethi, Ayodhya, Bahraich, Barabanki, Chitrakoot, Gonda, Kaushambi, Pratapgarh, Prayagraj, Shrawasti and Sultanpur will vote on Sunday.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday attacked the Congress for practicing dynastic politics. Speaking at a rally in Amethi, he said, “Parivarvaadis are so far from ground reality that they cannot see what is happening on the ground. They want to come in authority to increase their family’s power and rule over you like kings. Our power is not bahubali/mafia, but UP public.”
The backbone of India's employment sector has been broken by PM Narendra Modi and his friends. You'll see in the coming times, youth of this country won't get employment, teach them however much you want. No one listened to me during COVID, but you saw bodies in Ganga: Rahul Gandhi in Amethi
Samajwadi Party is a supporter of dacoits, rioters, & mafias…when I came to Chitrakoot for the first time, I was told that there's terror of dacoits & I promised to make it free of dacoits and you (public) must be seeing that: CM Yogi Adityanath at a rally in Chitrakoot

Mayawati on Thursday sought to quash speculation over the possibility of a post-poll tie-up with the ruling BJP, saying her BSP was not the B team of any party and the rivals were trying to mislead her supporters.
The speculation was triggered by a recent remark by Union Home Minister that Mayawati's Bahujan Samaj Party remained “relevant” in the Uttar Pradesh assembly polls and will get Dalit votes. Mayawati had responded by saying that it was Shah's “magnanimity” that he acknowledged this but added that the BSP will also get the votes of other communities.

At the Prayagraj rally, Modi mocked the poll promises of the rivals on employment and said while only two lakh jobs were provided in 10 years before 2017 in Uttar Pradesh on the basis of “favouritism and bundle of notes”, the Yogi Adityanath government generated five lakh government jobs in as many years with complete transparency. BSP ruled UP from 2007-12 while Akhilesh Yadav was in power in the state from 2012-17.
