LS polls will be Modi vs the rest: Amit Shah

- AGENCIES / ‘Mamata can’t escape consequenc­es’

BJP president Amit Shah said on Wednesday the upcoming Lok Sabha elections will be Prime Minister Narendra Modi versus the rest.

Shah, while addressing a meeting of BJP booth workers here, also said the BJP has rid Uttar Pradesh of goons and CM Yogi Adityanath has tackled the land mafia problem in the state.

“Upar Modi, neechey Yogi (Modi as prime minister and Adityanath as chief minister). This general election will be Modi versus the rest,” he said, adding that this would be the poll scenario in Uttar Pradesh.

“The BJP has rid Uttar Pradesh of goons, of parivaarva­d. Yogi has tackled land mafia in Uttar Pradesh. Goons are now scared of cops,” the BJP chief said.

Slamming the alliance between the SP and the BSP for the parliament­ary polls, he said, “We will put Aligarh locks on their shop. BJP workers will put Aligarh locks on the shop of Buaa-Bhatija (Mayawati and Akhilesh Yadav).” Amit Shah warned West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee over her attempts to block the entry of BJP workers and leaders into the state and said she cannot escape the consequenc­es of her actions.
