Amit Shah slams SP-Congress for practicing dynasty politics

Lucknow: Slamming the Congress and Samajwadi Party (SP), Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) chief Amit Shah on Sunday said these political outfits have lost the faith of people as they never maintained internal democracy.

"People in India know that after Sonia Gandhi, Rahul will take over the reins of Congress. Similarly, Akhilesh is now heading the SP after his father Mulayam Singh Yadav. On the other hand, the next BJP chief, after me, would be someone not from my family. The only criteria would be his talent and reliability to hold the pole position in the party," said Amit Shah at an event here, in presence of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, his deputies Keshav Prasad Maurya and Dinesh Sharma and several other ministers.

"Be it any party, it must always maintain its internal democracy. If it does not do so, it cannot serve the democracy of the nation," he added.

Taking a dig Manmohan Singh, Shah said people never considered him as the PM of the country, but on the other hand, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has not only won nation's love but has helped the country get recognition at the international level.

Pitching that no party in the state worked for the development, Amit Shah asserted the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led central government implemented 106 schemes for the benefit of poor, oppressed and women.

"The Centre has launched 106 schemes in the first three years of its regime for the welfare of poor, oppressed and women, and we will ensure that the benefits of these schemes reach out to the last person of the country," he said.

What else Amit Shah said?

• UP will develop under the leadership of Yogi Adityanath.
• Will ensure all villages get electricity by May 2018.
• Our government at the Centre has majorly affected black-money hoarders by demonetization.
• ISRO has established India as a global leader by launching 104 satellites.
• We have ensured construction of 4.5 crore toilets across the country.
• BJP has only campaigned to solve the national issues.

Speaking at the event, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath thanked and congratulated Amit Shah for leading BJP to an emphatic win in the Vidhan Sabha election in Uttar Pradesh.
