Modi or Akhilesh--who said the most dramatic lines during UP poll campaign?

During Uttar Pradesh election campaign, we’ve heard some of the most ‘provocative’ lines mouthed by senior and reputed politicians.

It has been an interesting election season in Uttar Pradesh, especially for the voters and political observers, as some of the top leaders did not shy away from mouthing provocative lines to reach out to the voters. In such an atmosphere where leaders of a democratic nation did not think twice before speaking, we wonder do we need television soap operas for our daily dose of 'entertainment'.

As the polling for the grand UP assembly elections will come to an end on March 8, let us check who said what since the campaigning started in February in the state. The voting for the last two phases-sixth and seventh--in UP state assembly elections are scheduled on March 4 and 8.

Here we bring you some of the most 'dramatic' lines said by our netas during UP election campaign...
