LUCKNOW: When nearly four-and-half years ago, Prime minister Narendra Modi hit the roads in Uttar Pradesh on poll campaign, he wasted no time in sharing sentiments of his party on the big Hindutva poll plank, questioning the electricity abundance during Eid than Diwali and more money on boundary walls at graveyards than cremation grounds.
He sought equal distribution of electricity and budget for all faiths.
On Friday, when visiting home an cooperative minister Amit Shah spoke to a gathering of thousands among his party supporters , he repeated what they wanted to hear.
“Ever since Mughal rule, this state was never made to realise that it belongs to Baba Vishwanath, Lord Rama, Lord Krishna and Lord Buddha. The focus of previous governments was somewhere else and their spending elsewhere. Both Samajwadi Party and Bahujan Samaj Party finished the identity of UP to suit their vote bank somewhere else,” Shah said.
