Union Home Minister Amit Shah said that during the tenure of Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav, kattas (country-made pistols) were made in the State while in the time of Prime Minister Narendra Modi missiles are being made in the country.
Addressing a public meeting at Valmiki Inter College grounds at Balua in Sakaldiha Assembly constituency of adjoining trans-Ganga Chandauli district on Wednesday, Shah said that the Bharatiya Janata Party would win more than 300 seats in the Assembly elections.
Highlighting the achievements of the BJP government in the state during the last five years, Shah said that the Yogi Adityanath government had freed the land of people from the mafia.
He said land worth more than Rs 2,000 crore was freed from the possession of the mafia and today Mukhtar Ansari, Mohammad Azam Khan and Atiq Ahmed were in jail.
"The opposition parties used to take only the votes of the poor," he said, adding that if the BJP government was formed again, girl students enrolled in higher educational courses would be given laptops, scooties and smartphones.
"The government will also waive the electricity bills of farmers. Earlier, Sakaldiha areas in Chandauli used to get electricity for only eight hours, now the district is getting power supply for 20 hours," he said, adding that now the health services had also improved.
He appealed to the people to go to hospitals with Ayushman cards and get free treatment up to Rs five lakh. He also said that government took care of poor even during COVID-19 pandemic period and gave them free ration.
Shah said that there were only 10 medical colleges in state when Yogi government assumed office in 2017 but now there were 40 medical colleges in state. "UP has become number one in production of milk, sugar, peas etc in country," he said, highlighting how Narendra Modi government repealed Article 370 relating to state of Jammu and Kashmir..
