Prime Minister and senior BJP leader Narendra Modi today slammed the ruling Samajwadi Party for its pre-poll alliance with Congress, likening it to a movie in which rivals befriend each other after the "interval". <br/><br/>Addressing an election rally in Kannauj, Mr Modi attacked the opposition for creating hue and cry over demonetisation and levelling all kinds of allegations against him. Hitting out at Congress, he said the party was running a three-legged race with one leg tied to Bahujan Samaj Party and another to Samajwadi Party.<br/><br/> On the state of affairs in Uttar Pradesh, Mr Modi said the abbreviation of UP may be read as "up", but everything is "down" in the state. Claiming that the Centre has taken important steps for the welfare of farmers, the Prime Minister said his party has promised in its manifesto that onion and potato will be bought at Minimum Support Price and will not allow the potato growers to die.
