Slamming UP’s ruling Samajwadi Party for establishing “goonda raj”, BJP chief Amit Shah on Wednesday said the “chacha-bhatija” Government had failed to usher in development and asked the electorate to vote BJP to power in the State while ensuring complete rout of SP and BSP.
He said Uttar Pradesh had seen little development in the last 15 years of alternate rules of SP and BSP while many other States progressed. He promised a BJP Government will be committed to the development of the poor.
“It is not only I or my party workers but everybody is saying that this Government of chacha-bhatija cannot develop UP,” he told a public meeting in Mathura.
“In 15 years, SP and BSP have made UP, which is endowed with so much resources, a most backward State while the rest of the country has marched ahead... How long will you tolerate the corrupt Government of Mayawati and goonda raj of Samajwadi PartyIJ You must root them out and give BJP a chance,” he said.
The State he comes from, Shah said referring to Gujarat, has water 1200 feet below the ground while UP, which has been blessed with rivers like Ganga and Yamuna, remained backward. “When SP comes to power, ruffians rule the State and when Mayawati comes, there is a lot of corruption,” he said, adding there was anger among people against SP.
