"Till people dump the governments led by ‘bua’ (aunt "Till people dump the governments led by ‘bua’ (auntMayawati) and ‘bhatija’ (nephew Akhilesh) who have ruined thestate with their casteist politics, development of UP willremain a far cry. UP has had good governments under KalyanSingh and Rajnath Singh," Shah told the audience. The BJP leader likened SP and BSP to ‘kuaan’ and ‘khaai’– an expression to convey that the voters had to understandthat both were equally bad for the state. On Samajwadi Party’s flip-flop over merger of gangster-turned-politician Mukhtar Ansari’s Qaumi Ekta Dal with theruling party, he said "There is a shadow boxing going on inthe Samajwadi Party." "Senior SP leader Shivpal says go ahead with it. ChiefMinister says, No! and SP supremo Mulayam says ok…I want toask even if they don’t take Afzal (QED MLA) they still have(don) Atiq Khan and some others of their kind," Shah said. "On the other hand, BSP has Naseemuddin Siddiqui whoraised (slogans) against a young girl (daughter of an expelledBJP leader). Women of Uttar Pradesh will never pardon him…for the people of state it is like kuaan and khaai with theseparties around," he said, asking the people to vote for BJPwhich does not take help of anti-social elements and works fordevelopment. On Akhilesh accusing the BJP government of not givingenough to the state which gave them 73 MPs in the Lok Sabhapolls, Shah said the 14th Finance Commission gave Rs 7.10 lakhcrore to UP, which is Rs 5 lakh crore more than the previoustime and asked as to where it has all disappeared. "It is the duty of the state government to provide water,power, roads, education, employment…why is he asking what wedid, we gave Rs 5 lakh crore more…development in UP is notpossible in the present atmosphere and change will have to bebrought by uprooting the SP government," he said. Referring to the proposed padyatra to be undertaken byRahul, Shah said he was trying to breathe life into the party. He also ridiculed the Bihar chief minister and said whatthe JD(U) leader had no base in the poorvanchal. "Does he haveany base there? At best Congress and JD(U) could split votesand not form the government," he said. "People should beware of these vote-cutwa (votesplitters)," he said. PTI SAB SMI SMJ SKSMJ
