Amit Shah in western UP: Woos farmers, invokes Kairana 'exodus'

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday accused the previous state governments of conspiring to sell off cooperative sugar mills and targeted them for failing to control criminals, alluding also to the "exodus" of Hindus from another western UP town a few years back. With the next assembly elections just months away, the BJP leader praised the Yogi Adityanath government, saying it has ensured rapid clearing of the backlog of payments to sugarcane farmers.
