Those changes will only be minute, there will be some ups and downs but nobody knows Uttar Pradesh better than Amit Shah. He’s here to fix all of that and see us sail through. Each time he set his foot on UP, its tone changed in our favour.
The animal husbandry MoS briefly acknowledged the removal of barricades at New Delhi-Uttar Pradesh border on Friday as a pre-decided move.
Addressing the accusations of unfairness and corruption in the Lakhimpur Kheri violence probe by the Uttar Pradesh Police, Balyan saying that probe is already very fair and will be analysed from all angles.
