The Home Minister also reeled out comparative crime figures under the present Yogi Adityanath-led State government and the one headed by Akhilesh Yadav before him
Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday took a swipe at Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, saying he does not have "shame" while talking "lies" about the law and order situation in Uttar Pradesh where the BJP government has chased away criminals and mafias who flourished during the earlier regime.
He also scoffed at Mr, Yadav and RLD chief Jayant Chaudhary’s display of togetherness and said leaders of these parties will be seen together only till election. He said in the event of government formation, people like Azam Khan and Atiq Ahmad will take centre stage and Mr. Chaudhary will not be seen anywhere.
Seeking support for the saffron party in western Uttar Pradesh, Mr. Shah invoked eminent Jat leader late Prime Minister Chaudhary Charan Singh and farmers' leader Mahendra Singh Tikait, and asked if anyone can forget the 2013 Muzaffarnagar riots during which “victims were made accused”.
