Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday in Kannauj targeted the Samajwadi Party (SP) president Akhilesh Yadav for engaging in “appeasement politics” and his party supporters of chanting “Pakistan zindabad”. Mr. Shah said that when western U.P. grappled in riots and communal violence, the SP leadership was enjoying in Saifai.
“For vote bank, SP supporters raise slogans of Pakistan zindabad. When western U.P. grappled in riots the SP leaders were dancing and enjoying at the Saifai mahotsav,” Mr. Shah said while addressing a rally in support of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate Subrat Pathak, who is facing off against SP president Akhilesh Yadav.
Mr. Shah further accused the SP and the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance of dynastic politics. “The INDIA bloc members are not able to see anything beyond their family, so the people of Uttar Pradesh have decided to defeat them. The huge crowd at the Kannauj rally is telling me that the shop of family oriented parties is going to be closed forever,” he asserted.
