Union home minister Amit Shah on Sunday exuded confidence in the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) performance in the Assembly election in Uttar Pradesh scheduled to be held early next year. He said the saffron camp’s victory will be another feather in the BJP's cap having consecutively won the general elections of 2014 and 2019 and the previous UP Assembly polls held in 2017. “The BJP succeeded in 2014, 2017, 2019 in UP and this would be 'chauka' (boundary) as the BJP will win for the fourth time,” Shah said while addressing the BJP's 'Jan Vishwas Yatra' rally in UP’s Kasganj.
He also hit out at Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati and Samajwadi Party supremo Akhilesh Yadav for indulging 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.
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.
