While addressing a poll rally in Uttar Pradesh's Basti, the Prime Minister said that the previous governments 'led by dynasts' kept India dependent on foreign countries for its defence needs.
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said the BSP, SP and the BJP were able to form governments only by 'exploiting the emotions' of the people over caste and religion, and hence, Uttar Pradesh did not see development.
