LIVE: Gandhi family is 'arrogant' and 'power drunk', says Modi in Amethi

11:53 am: Modi: Can we have politics of weapons? Can culprits seat in the parliament? Today I have come to the land of Ram Manohar Lohia.

I want to give you the assurance that this nation, its democracy and voice of the commoners is our strength. Violent politics cannot work here.

I have with me Sanju Devi – intense violence was inflicted on this lady.

I want to ask the government of UP and Delhi - what was her crime? Why was her ‘mangalsutra' snatched away? Why was her husband killed? Why are the culprits being shielded? I assure you that there will be no more Sanju Devi in this country. Such acts will not be tolerated

11:52 am: Modi: This election is not being fought by any politician, candidate or party. It is being fought by the public. Brothers and sisters…you all are a living proof of the power of democracy.

11:51 am: Modi: You all are here standing under this heat. I assure you that I will not let your strife go in vain.

11:50 am: Modi begins his speech by greeting all those who had gathered for the rally.
