This change has come during the BJP government,” Shah said addressing an election meeting here.” Mr Shah also exuded confidence that the BJP will win the ongoing assembly elections.
“I have been to around 150 (assembly) seats of in UP and seen the election mood at every place. In the first five phases of the elections, the SP and the BSP will be wiped off, and the people are working to form the BJP government. Now, you have to vote to take the tally (of seats) beyond 300.” The home minister said, “In UP, one or two ‘bahubalis’ (musclemen) are still left, who will be sent to the jail after March 10. Till the time law and order situation is improved, development cannot take place and industrial investments cannot come.”
