Stressing on development of Uttar Pradesh, BJP national president Amit Shah said that face of Bundelkhand can change in no time if illegal mining is stopped and benefits announced by the Union Government reaches every household in this rugged region.
“Many States of India like Maharashtra and Gujarat have faced drought like people experienced in Bundelkhand. The agony is Governments in those States were receptive to the demand of people but the Akhilesh Government turned a Nelson’s eye to the plight of drought-hit people of this region,” Shah said while flagging off the a second leg of Parivartan Yatra from Jhansi on Sunday.
He said the Samajwadi Party Government was more concerned about money it is earning from illegal mining. The volume of this illegal money is so high that from that mullah each family of Bundelkhand can buy a Maruti car. “When the BJP Government will come to UP it will stop illegal mining here. If we are able to stop this racket the face of Bundelkhand in particular and that of Uttar Pradesh in general will change in no time,” he said and added that the BJP Government will also free land from encroachers..
Shah talked in detail about the schemes the Modi Government has launched for the welfare of people. “The money is not reaching you. I know this because in between there is State Government which does not want that you should progress. When BJP will form Government in UP the speed of development will double up because both central and the State Government will be in sync,” he said.
“What this Government has given to you except goondas and criminals. Throw away this corrupt and in-efficient Government. I assure you that UP will be one of the most prosperous States of the country if you people vote for BJP,” he said adding that BJP wants development but BSP and SP are anti-people.
In his around 35 minute speech he talked about corruptions in the State Government and how people are suffering because of poor law and order. He talked about lack of employment opportunities in UP and how youth are forced to go out of their hearth to earn their living.
“You people made BJP Government at the Centre. look in this two and half year no one can raise a finger at us. We have given transparent Government and are accountable for every penny we spend,” he said.
BJP national president also said that party is against triple talaq. “Constitution has given equal right to women of all region. We should respect that,” he said.
Earlier he was given a rousing welcome when he reached Jhansi alongwith union Home Minister Rajnath Singh, Union MSME Minister Kalraj Mishra and Union Water Resources Minister Uma Bharati.
