Jitender Singh MoS, PMO: The youth of the country has come of age. People have only voted for development in Uttar Pradesh, they have moved ahead of caste, religious lines. The most important contribution of Modi phenomenon is that it has enabled voters to cast votes for development, going beyond castes, creeds, religions. It has helped them get rid of feudal mindset.”
