Ghazipur (Uttar Pradesh): Prime minister Narendra Modi on Monday said that the inconvenience faced by the common man due to demonetization will not go in vain.
Addressing his first public rally in poll-bound Uttar Pradesh post the demonetization drive, Modi said: "I want to assure you that your inconveniences will not go in vain."
Key points from his speech
» My decision a little harsh. When I was young, poor people used to ask for 'kadak' tea but it spoils mood of the rich
» After demonetisation, poor enjoying sound sleep, rich running from pillar to post to buy sleeping pills
» No option left for the dishonest, only fulfilling promise made at election time to fight corruption
» Projects started for Eastern UP are a tribute to Nehru on birth anniversary though his party attacks me constantly
» Some parties are facing major problem, a big worry saps their mind as to what to do now (after demonetization)
» New whitewash gives out foul smell, but it is necessary: PM on inconvenience being faced by people due to demonetisation.
» Only when people are ready to face inconvenience, then corruption will go
» We don't lack money, but it is lying where it should not be
