Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee president Ajay Kumar Lallu on Friday attacked the Bharatiya Janata Party government, alleging that Union Home Minister Amit Shah was only lying in the rallies being held with government money.
Lallu said that the BJP government made Uttar Pradesh number one in unemployment, inflation and atrocities on women and now under the leadership of Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, the people had made up their minds to throw out the Yogi Adityanath-led government.
According to a UPCC official communiqué released here on Friday evening, Lallu said that Union Home Minister Amit Shah was continuously lying in the rallies being held with government money. He said in the rallies of Amit Shah and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, instead of talking on the issues of public concern, unrestrained talk was going on that has nothing to do with the development of Uttar Pradesh. He said that BJP gave 30 per cent participation in ticket distribution to the family members of BJP leaders, on the other hand, Congress was going to give 40 per cent tickets to women. “Unemployment has increased so much that youth are forced to migrate to other states whereas Congress is promising to provide 20 lakh jobs if its government is formed in Uttar Pradesh, in which 40 per cent will be women's share,” the UPCC chief said. Lallu said that before making any comment on Rahul Gandhi, Amit Shah must listen to the former Congress president's statement and also to the statement of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in which Congress questioned burning the stove with drain gas. He said that Amit Shah was asking for five more years to make Uttar Pradesh number one whereas in the last five years, Uttar Pradesh had become number one in crime, atrocities on women and unemployment.
