Amit Shah said the Modi government heralded the Blue Revolution worth Rs 5,000 crore and by making a provision of Rs 7,522 crore, infrastructure for water-based agriculture was initiated.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday hit out at the SP and the BSP, claiming that their governments in Uttar Pradesh functioned only for a few castes while PM Narendra Modi worked for the poor and all backwards.
Akhilesh Yadav-led Samajwadi Party (SP) has been electorally dominant among the Yadavs while Mayawati's Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) enjoys overwhelming support among the Jatavs.
Jatavs form about 8 per cent of the UP's population while Yadavs constitute about 9 per cent of the state population.
"Whenever the Samajwadi Party or the Bahujan Samaj Party formed the government in Uttar Pradesh, they worked only for their own castes. But PM Narendra Modi has worked for all backward castes and in the interest of the poor," Mr Shah said.
