The main thing is that the work that we have done, the work that our government has done, Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, will continue as it was going. Under the BJP government in four and a half years, Uttar Pradesh has developed a lot. We will win the next election on the basis of the work done by our government," he added.
