BJP will win more than 300 seats in UP, says Amit Shah

Union home minister Amit Shah has asked voters in Uttar Pradesh to “score a boundary” and “hit a four” by ensuring a fourth consecutive win for the BJP in the state after 2014, 2017 and 2019. Addressing the the BJP's 'Jan Vishwas Yatra' rally in Kasganj district on Sunday, he exuded confidence in the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) performance in the Assembly election in Uttar Pradesh. I want to say that we're going win more than 300 seats in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly election 2022 he said. Hitting out at BSP Supremo Mayawati and SP Chif Akhilesh Yadav, Shah said they believe in  caste and family-based politics. “The past regimes of 'Bua-Babua' (Mayawati and Akhlesh Yadav) were regimes of caste-based and family based politics,” he said. Shah added, "Samajwadi Party is dreaming that it will come to power again in Uttar Pradesh and they will stop the ongoing works at Ram Janmabhoomi. No one can stop the construction of Ram Temple in Ayodhya."l

Stating that lawlessness prevailed in the state before the Yogi Adityanath-led BJP government came to power in 2017, Shah said criminals have fled the state since then. Shah also remembered former chief minister Kalyan Singh for his good governance and as a man who had given up his chief minister’s chair during the Ram Janmabhoomi movement. Kalyan Singh died on August 21, 2021. Shah said Mr. Singh was the first person who spoke about “sushashan” (good governance) and for backward caste people, providing them their rights. Under the BJP government, there was one product (One District One Product scheme), one industry and one medical college in each district, he said.
