Ballia, Uttar Pradesh: In a rally on Wednesday, Home Minister Amit Shah praised the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led government in Uttar Pradesh, highlighting the state's transformation from producing country-made firearms to manufacturing advanced weaponry like BrahMos missiles and cannonballs.
?Ek zamane mai ye UP mein desi katte bante the, aaj UP mai Brahmos missiles aur tope ke gole ban rahe hai,? Shah said, emphasizing the state's progress under BJP rule. He commended Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for his strict action against the mafia, claiming that Yogi has disciplined them by "hanging them upside down."
Amit Shah lauded the Yogi-led government for its strong stance against miscreants, stating that no one in the state dares to engage in land grabbing or take over the lands of the poor anymore. "Instead of guns, defense corridors are being built in the state, and BJP has done the work of building cow shelters instead of butcher shops," Shah added.
Criticizing the previous Samajwadi Party (SP) government, Shah pointed out the issues with electricity supply during their rule. ?There was a problem of electricity during the rule of SP. The electricity used to be there completely during Ramzan, but not during Janmashtami. After the BJP came to power, CM Yogi brought electricity to the state,? he said.
Shah also attacked the Congress party, calling it the "Anti-Pichda Party," and accused them of giving backward class reservations to Muslims without any constitutional provision. ?Congress has done the work of giving backward class reservations to Muslims without any constitutional provision. They gave 4 and 5 per cent reservations to Muslims in Karnataka and Hyderabad. They gave reservations based on religion, which is against the law,? he stated.
Further criticizing the Congress, Shah addressed their stance on Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK). ?The Congress party tries to scare us, they say Pakistan has atom bomb, don?t talk about Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK). I have come to tell you, Rahul Baba, we are from BJP, we are not scared of atom bombs. PoK belongs to India; it belongs to India, and we will take it,? he declared.
