Kasganj, 26 Dec (UNI) Union Home Minister and former Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) president Amit Shah on Sunday said Samajwadi Party (SP) and Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) can never develop Uttar Pradesh as they are caste-based and dynastic parties.
Addressing BJP's Jan Vishwas rally at Barah Pathar ground here Shah said, "Only BJP led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi can take the entire country along." He also gave the slogan of 'Is baar 300 paar' (this time 300 plus).
Referring to BSP chief Mayawati and SP president Akhilesh Yadav, he said, "Bua-Babua ran the government in UP, did they ensured the development of all. Did SP rule did good for you. Was development being done during BSP regime. They can't. They are caste-based and dynastic parties."
He said that previously common people used to desert UP, but in five years of Yogi rule all goons and criminals have deserted the state. "Earlier the law and order situation in the state was so bad that people avoided from sending their daughters to the schools and colleges," he said.
Union Minister Arjun Ram Meghawal, BL Verma, Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya and party MPs were also present on the occasion.
Shah said that earlier when demand of Ram Temple was being raised people had to face lathis and bullets were fired on them. "When the people of UP gave their blessings and government of absolute majority was formed in 2019, Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation of the temple in Ayodhay and a grand temple is about to get completed in the next few months," he said.
He also referred to the beautification of Kashi Vishwanath Dham and construction of the corridor in Varanasi. He said that when Modi government repealed Article 370 from Jammu and Kahsmir Akhilesh, Congress and BSP all opposed the move. "Will you vote in the favour of those who opposed," he said.
The Home Minister said that the BJP government also ensured the safety and security of the country. "During Congress rule terrorists used to cross the border and kill our soldiers, but there used to be no buzz at the center. But after Uri and Pulwama attacks surgical strikes were carried out with 10 days and revenge was taken," he said.
He said, "Earlier there used to be riots in UP, now medical college, university, airport are being constructed, a web of industries has come up and the state is free of 'goondaraj'."
Shah said that during Akhilesh's regime more than 700 riots took place, but today in Yogi raj no one can dare to incite riot.
He also mentioned about former Chief Minister and veteran party leader Kalyan Singh for his contribution towards ensuring rights to backwards and Ram Temple movement.
