AKP Chairman and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan spoke at his party's rally in Manisa.
Targeting CHP Chairman Özgür Özel in his speech, Erdoğan said, "There are those who want to blow their own horn here even though they cannot make their own party listen to them. With the support of Manisa, we will liberate him too and free him from his shackles. His fate will be like his predecessor who lost 13 elections."
Continuing his 'no vote, no service' rhetoric from the campaign trail in Manisa, Erdoğan said, "The government is already in the hands of the People's Alliance, it is with us. What will happen when we win this place as the People's Alliance? Ankara and Manisa will work hand in hand without any disruption, and the services here will continue to increase," he said.
Highlights from Erdoğan's statements are as follows:
''There is someone who is eager to blow his own horn here even though he cannot make his own party listen to him. I am calling out to him from here: do not worry at all, do not wear yourself out in vain; the day he will be freed from the shackles placed on his neck is very near. On March 31, we will liberate him too and save him from the torment he is subjected to, just like his predecessor.
We entered their lairs in Tendürek. Where are the 'terroristan' and terrorist organizations? They are all in shambles right now.
ECONOMY MESSAGE: DIFFICULTIES WILL EASE STARTING FROM THE END OF THE YEAR
We will all see together that the difficulties in the economy will begin to ease from the end of the year, and we will rise again starting from next year. It is our duty to dash the hopes of those who want to make the nation dependent on them without producing anything, without developing programs or projects. Nobody cares about the current CHP Chairman anyway. They were so caught up in bargaining that they could not submit their candidate lists to the election boards on time, as happened in Saruhanlı, Manisa.
''WE ARE AWARE OF THE DIRTY ALLIANCE''
They have made it a habit to do everything in secret; we are aware of the dirty alliance formed in Istanbul and Mersin. They did not hesitate to act with circles hostile to Turkey; the future of our cities cannot be made an appetizer for dirty bargaining. Let alone what is happening in the world and in Turkey, they do not even feel the need to be interested in their own hometowns.
"JUST TO WIN 3-5 MUNICIPALITIES..."
Politics cannot be done this way. One does not surrender to political separatists to this extent just to win 3-5 municipalities. The expectations and rights of our women, our youth, our workers, and our retirees cannot be left to the mercy of these incompetent, ambitious people. As for the President, this brother of yours, the government is already in the hands of the People's Alliance, it is with us. When we win this place as the People's Alliance, Ankara and Manisa will work hand in hand without any disruption, and the services here will continue on their path with an increase.''
"MY EYES WILL BE ON MANISA ON ELECTION NIGHT"
Stating that "Manisa keeps its word," Erdoğan said, "On election night, my eyes will be on the results in Manisa. We have always appeared before our nation with a policy of works and services. We have kept our word until today."
SERVICE THREAT CONTINUED IN MANISA
The President is this brother of yours. The government is already in the hands of the People's Alliance, it is with us. What will happen when we win this place as the People's Alliance? Ankara and Manisa will work hand in hand without any disruption, and the services here will continue to increase."
