Polls about changing fate of Uttar Pradesh: Shah

BJP president Amit Shah on Saturday said the UP election was about changing the fate of the state, which had been caught in a tug of war between ‘bua-bhatija’ Mayawati and Akhilesh Yadav. He also attacked the SP-Congress alliance, saying it was a tie-up of “corrupt families”.

He was addressing a poll rally in Ambedkarnagar, about 240 kilometres from the state capital Lucknow.

Taking a jibe at Congress vicepresident Rahul Gandhi and SP national president Akhilesh Yadav, the BJP chief said, “The tales of two princes are very unique. One is giving a tough time to his mother, while the other is posing problems for his father. And, the state is worried by their antics.” Shah also sought a performance report from the Congress.
