" 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas' is the key to the development of UP. For BJP, the participation of daughters in development is the biggest priority. That is why today every sector is being opened for daughters. Muslim sisters-daughters understand our clear intentions. We made them free of 'Teen Talaak' and gave them protection. When BJP received support from Muslim women, these vote-'thekedaar' got restless that their daughter is saying 'Modi-Modi'... They're tricking Muslim sisters," says PM Modi.
