Dump SP, BSP to make UP the richest state: Amit Shah

Nov 6,  4:30 PM Promising to turn Uttar Pradesh into the richest state, BJP chief Amit Shah today said it could be possible only if people dumped Samajwadi Party and BSP and ushered in a government run by the BJP. Addressing a huge rally on the flag off occasion of Parivartan Rath Yatra in Numaish Maidan of Jhansi, Mr Shah said, Samajwadi Party and BSP both parties have only looted and sabotaged Uttar Pradesh alternately since last fifteen years. He said, Bundelkhand region has been a victim of illegal mining, continuously carried out by SP and BSP rules. He said, if illegal mining is stopped in Bundelkhand, the entire region will flourish, but Samajwadi Party government will not do it. He said, Samajwadi Party has a single agenda to loot and plunder the state and its goons have grabbed the land of poor and weaker people. Attacking the BSP, Mr Shah said, the party in the name of Dalit upliftment, does nothing except to indulge in corruption. He said, no one could expect better law and order in the state under SP or BSP rule. He claimed that only BJP can bring much needed development for UP which can take it to new heights. The BJP Chief flagged off second Parivartan Rath Yatra from Jhansi in the presence of Union Ministers Rajnath Singh, Uma Bharti, Kalraj Mishra and state BJP president Keshav Maurya. Addressing the gathering, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh said, law and order in UP has totally collapsed and only BJP can revive it. He claimed there has been no single or minor charge of corruption on NDA government in last thirty months and the same atmosphere will automatically be created when BJP comes to power in the state. Our correspondent reports that all the BJP leaders appealed the people to give the mandate in favour of BJP for development of the state. The remaining two Parivartan Rath Yatras will be flagged off on 8th and 9th of November from Sonbhadra and Ballia. All the four Yatras will culminate on 24th December in Lucknow where Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the rally.
