Launching party's Lok Sabha election campaign, Mulayam targeted his core vote bank — backwards and Muslims. He said that 'kisans' and 'musalmans' (farmers and Muslims) have contributed the most in India's development. He focused on farmers who mostly hail from backward classes, and Muslims, who are also among the most backwards. The name of the rally was 'Desh Bachao-Desh Banao' (save country, build country).
Mulayam said that BJP only talks about threat to India from Pakistan and not China. "They talk about Pakistan because it is weak and do not dare to challenge a strong enemy like China. If Pakistan will destroy five cities in India, the latter will survive. But if India will destroy five cities in Pakistan, the latter will be wiped off," he said. He said that India is not weak and should take on China.
Projecting himself to be fit for the post of Prime Minister, Mulayam said that neither China, nor Pakistan could dare to violate border when he was defence minister of the country because at that time, India gave befitting reply to even smallest of cross border aggression. He said that as defence minister he also started the practice of taking bodies of martyred soldiers to their homes for conducting last rites with full respect.
Mulayam spoke on how the SP government is fulfilling promises it made during 2012 assembly elections. "SP is the only party which has stuck to its ideology and promises," he said, while recalling his mentor Ram Manohar Lohia. He spoke at length on the problems faced by farmers and the poor in the villages and promised if voted to power at the Centre, SP-led government will continue to work for the masses.
The SP president said that after elections, the third front will form the government at the Centre. "The BJP ruled the country with one of its tallest leader Atal Bihari Vajpayee as Prime Minister for six years. It was followed by 10 years of the Congress rule. But no development has taken place. They have given only scams and price rise. The country needs secular government which can also deliver development," he said.
Mulayam said that farmers provide food to the country that's why he has always worked for the community. He recalled decisions like loan waiver taken by previous and present SP government for farmers. He also said that Muslims artisans provide technical support to the farmers in the villages. He also took name of former President APJ Abdul Kalam, saying that a Muslim gave missiles to the country.
The Yadav satrap said that BJP governments in other states have copied welfare schemes for girls started by the SP government in UP. "Our ideology and approach is to help poor, women, farmer, minorities and marginalized sections of the society," he said. Only this ideology can rule the country in a better way, ensure development and control prices," he added.
The SP chief said that no development is complete without equality and social justice. He asked people in the rally to ensure the victory of SP in maximum possible seats in Lok Sabha elections in UP, so that the party can play an important role in formation of government at the Centre. Mulayam said that country needs to measure the growth rate of poor and focus on inclusive growth.
The rally coincided with the end of the first phase of the 'samajik nyay yatra' and the 'adhikar yatra' launched by the party aimed to showcase work done by the SP government for the OBCs and to resolve that the party will continue to fight for them. One of the main objectives of the two yatras is to fight for the inclusion of 17 backward castes into scheduled castes (SC) category, which if done, will help the SP to broaden its base among OBCs. The OBCs, along with Muslims, constitute 45% of the population in UP. Mulayam is also trying to defend its OBC vote bank from aggressive poaching by the BJP under Modi's leadership.
Earlier, SP's Muslim face Azam Khan in his speech attacked the RSS and the BJP for spreading communal hatred. He also accused Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi of misleading country through his ISI remark. "After Rahul's remark that Pakistani intelligence agency ISI is trying to trap Muslim riot victims in Muzaffarnagar, blasts occurred in BJP's rally in Patna. This points out towards a conspiracy, which must be probed," he said. He also said that India is not of Hindus and Muslims alone but of all castes and communities and the challenge before everyone is to save the country from fascist forces.
