Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah on Saturday formally set the tone for the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections from the state capital, launching a sharp attack on the Samajwadi Party, Bahujan Samaj Party and Congress, and urging people to give the BJP another “thumping majority” in the next polls.
Party attack
Addressing a large gathering at the UP Day celebrations, Shah said SP, BSP and Congress were casteist and family-run parties which, according to him, could not ensure the welfare of the people. “Only the BJP can work for the welfare of Uttar Pradesh. In 2027, reject such parties and once again form a BJP government with a massive mandate,” he said.
Shah was in Lucknow to inaugurate the three-day UP Day programme being held from January 24 to 26. He began his speech with chants of “Jai Shri Ram” and “Bharat Mata ki Jai” and playfully prompted the audience to raise louder slogans, drawing an enthusiastic response from the crowd.
