I saw you working hard in the sun and dust, you did not bow down, you did not stop, you showed courage to fight in the toughest of times. You were tortured, false cases were filed against you, you were put in jail, you were repeatedly put under house arrest but you did not get scared. Many leaders left in fear, you stood firm.”

She said, “I am proud of you and the people of UP, who understood the depth and truth of this country and gave a strong message to the whole of India to save our Constitution. You have re-established an old ideal in today’s politics that the issues of the people are paramount, the price of ignoring them is heavy. The election is of the people, the people fight, the people win.”
