Guntur(AP): Spitting fire at the “mother-son duo” (of Sonia and Rahul Gandhi) for “backstabbing” the youth of Seemaandhra region, BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi today promised to stand by them (youth) and help them realise their dreams.“The government of the mother and son back-stabbed you and shattered your dreams. It has left you orphaned. But now is the time for you to elect a government that will stand by you. I will help you realise your dreams,” Modi said while addressing a mammoth election rally at Guntur this evening. Addressing his third meeting as part of a whirlwind campaign tour in Seemaandhra region of Andhra Pradesh today, the Gujarat Chief Minister specifically sought to attract farmers and youth by raising issues relevant to them. “Like Gujarat, Guntur is a high cotton-growing region. But cotton growers of Guntur were forced to suffer a loss of Rs 7,000 crore as the mother-son government banned export of cotton,” he pointed out.“But the BJP government, when voted to power at the Centre, will implement a 5F formula of farm-fibre-fabric-fashion-foreign. That will help the local youth and cotton growers in a big way as they could export their produce and create a demand in overseas markets for their ready made garments,” Modi said.Noting that chilli and turmeric, the two other major cash crops grown in Guntur district, had good use in pharmaceutical industry, he said setting up research centres in the region would boost export of chilli and turmeric. “We will endeavour to do that,” he promised the farmers.Asserting that the youth of Seemaandhra would never want a “Scam Andhra”, which the Congress turned the region into in the last ten years, Modi said electing a state government led by the Telugu Desam Party would transform the region into “Swarna Andhra” (golden Andhra).“Local youth here are very intelligent. We will set up best institutes of the world like IIT, IIM, AIIMS in Seemaandhra for the youth,” he assured. “Our dream is to ensure adequate water and power for the farm sector and create employment opportunities for the youth. We will change the fortunes of Seemaandhra. So please cast your votes on May 7 and elect the TDP-BJP combine,” Modi exhorted farmers and youth.Expressing anguish that AP marched forward in criminal record in the last ten years, the BJP leader appealed to people to elect Chandrababu Naidu as Chief Minister, who would ensure peace and security.TDP President N Chandrababu Naidu, senior BJP leaders M Venkaiah Naidu and Prakash Javadekar, film star Pawan Kalyan and the TDP-BJP candidates contesting the elections in Guntur district attended the rally.
