Akhilesh Yadav's Party Supplied Power On Muharram, Not Ram Navami: Amit Shah

UP Polls: Amit Shah said Akhilesh Yadav's goons used to make country-made pistols in Bundelkhand, but PM Modi is establishing defence industry to make shells.

Accusing the Samajwadi Party (SP) of doing appeasement politics, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday said its government earlier did not provide electricity to people on Ram Navami and Sri Krishna Janmotsav, but power used to be supplied during Muharram.

Addressing an election meeting in UP's Ballia, Mr Shah if people vote for the SP again, electricity will not come to Uttar Pradesh.

"Earlier, when there was Muharram electricity used to come to Uttar Pradesh, but on Parshuram Jayanti, Sri Ram Navami and Sri Krishna Janmotsav there was no electricity supply," he said.

Mr Shah took a jibe at Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, saying his goons used to make 'katta', or country-made pistols, in Bundelkhand, but Prime Minister Narendra Modi is establishing defence industry to make shells.
