Taking a dig at the Samajwadi Party (SP), Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said that the ‘red caps’ want to form government in Uttar Pradesh to show leniency towards terrorists and to bring them out of jails.

PM Modi was in Gorakhpur district in poll-bound Uttar Pradesh to dedicate various developmental projects to the people. Without naming the SP, PM Modi said the ‘red caps’ are red alert for UP.

“Today entire UP knows that the ‘red caps’ cared about ‘red beacons’ alone. They had nothing to do with your pain and issues. The ‘red caps’ want power – for scams and for filling their coffers, for illegal encroachments, for providing freedom to mafia,” PM Modi said.
