Salient points of the speech of BJP National President Shri Amit Shah during public meetings in

 I have been touring every nook and corner of UP since the last one year and everywhere, I have witnessed huge support in favour of BJP.

 Newspapers are reporting a wave in favour of BJP. However, it is not a wave but tsunami in favour of BJP that will wash away SP, BSP and Congress.

 When you vote for BJP in these assembly elections, do not vote for our party candidates, do not vote to change the government or do not vote to change the CM but choose the lotus symbol to change the fortune and destiny of Poorvanchal and Uttar Pradesh.

 For the last 15 years, it is either SP or BSP that ruled the state. As a result, UP today lags way behind other states on all parameters of progress and development. The Bua-Bhatija rule has destroyed UP.

 The period of 15 years is a long on in the life of any state. In these 15 years, other states have marched head on the path of development while UP continued to remain backward.

 Do you get 24 hour electricity in your homes? Is every village connected by road network? Have youths got jobs? Are women safe and secure? Are traders secure? Are farmers able to sell their produce? Are there hospitals?

 Your resounding no to each of my questions is in contradiction to CM ’s tall claims that the development work done by him speaks for itself. Akhilesh has made UP number one state in the country, not on development parameters but when it comes to murders, rapes, theft, kidnapping and extortion. It is not Akhilesh’s development work but his misdeeds that speak for themselves.

 Akhilesh Yadav’s confidante Gayatri Prajapti was accused of rape by mother-daughter from Bundelkhand. However, no one in the state police registered their FIR. It was only on the directions of Supreme Court that a FIR was finally lodged against Prajapati. Such is the dismal state of administration and law & order under SP government.

 Despite SC directed FIR, Prajapti continued to campaign in elections for 6 days and even cast his vote. Now he has disappeared and the CM of the state is pleading him to surrender. I know Akhilesh will not be able to arrest Prajapati but once BJP government is formed on March 11, we will pull out the culprit from his hiding and put him behind bars.

 People see 2 princes of Congress and SP on TV these days and both claim that they will work for betterment of UP. However, one prince has troubled his mother while the other price has upset his father. And now, UP is fed up with both of them.

 UP has been reduced to a whirlpool of problems due to the misrule of SP-BSP-Congress. Akhilesh Yadav cannot address state’s problems because he lacks the guts and courage to do so. Only BJP government under the leadership of PM Modi has the ability to develop UP.

 In these elections, and Afzal Ansari are riding BSP’s elephant. On one hand, you have Mukhtar Ansari and Afzal Ansari in BSP while on the other hand, you have and Atiq Ahmed in SP. UP voters are caught between devil and deep sea. That only leaves BJP as a credible option because there is no place for hooligans and goondas in the party. We believe in clean politics.

 I want to assure you that after BJP forms government in the state on March 11, all goonda elements in the state will land up in jail.

 Rahul Gandhi has been asking Modiji about the achievements of BJP government in the last 2.5 years. But before asking us, Rahul must answer. Rahul’s great grandfather, grandmother, father, and mother have run the governments and the family ruled the country from Panchayat to Parliament for 60 years. What did they do for the nation?

 The 60 years of Congress rule could not provide power in the houses of poor, could not provide them clean drinking water, could not build toilets for their use, could not open their bank accounts, and could not provide them gas connection in kitchens.

 On the other hand, in just 2.5 years, the Modi government has opened bank accounts for all poor families, built toilets, and given more than 2 crore free gas connections to poor households across the country.

 The Modi government has also launched 93 schemes or one scheme every fortnight in the last 2.5 years for the benefit of the poor, women, youth, farmers, backward and dalits. However, the benefits of these schemes have failed to reach the people in UP due to corrupt and inept state government.

 I urge you to uproot the SP government and elect BJP government with a two-third majority. I promise you under PM Modi’s leadership, we will make UP ’s number one state in five years.

 UP CM Akhilesh Yadav has been asking PM “acche din kab ayyenge?” Being CM of the state for 5 years, it is Akhilesh who was responsible for bringing “acche din” for UP but instead, he is asking us.

 I need to tell Akhilesh that his party would be voted out of power by 1 pm on March 11 and it will be replaced by BJP government in the state. That will mark the beginning of “acche din” for UP.

 Under SP government, there have been many cases where cattle of farmers have been stolen by those running slaughter houses. I assure you that the day BJP CM takes oath, we will bring an ordinance to shut down all slaughter houses to save the state’s cattle. No one has the right to slaughter cow, buffalo or ox on the holy land of UP that result in a pool of blood. Instead, UP should have abundant supply of milk and ghee
