TIL Desk/National/Lucknow-Hitting out at successive BSP and Samajwadi Party governments in Uttar Pradesh over corruption, BJP president Amit Shah alleged on Wednesday, that people of the state were left empty handed while the leaders of the two parties flourished under their respective rule. He also alleged that while Samajwadi Party was committing atrocities on Dalits, BSP chief Mayawati was exploiting them and claimed that only the BJP can uplift of the community.
“In the last 15 years, the people of Uttar Pradesh have been entangled between SP and BSP and remained where they were, while the leaders of these parties accumulated wealth,” he alleged. Addressing a ‘Parivartan Maha rally’ organised by Swami Prasad Maurya, Mr Shah raised questions on corruption cases – from Taj corridor to alleged mining scam linked to Gayatri Prasad Prajapati.
“I want to ask Akhileshji as to why was Gayatri Prasad Prajapati was removed from the ministry… corruption was cited as the reason when he was dismissed, but he was taken back within a week… is he not corrupt now,” he asked. “Had there been no corruption in the mining department in the state (headed by Prajapati), every household would have got a colour TV set,” Mr Shah claimed.
