Akhilesh Yadav questions Amit Shah over crimes against women, Dalits in U.P.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah urged Uttar Pradesh BJP workers to set aside their grievances and work towards ensuring the party retains power for a third consecutive term in upcoming Assembly elections. Speaking at a state executive meeting, Shah asked workers to leave any disappointment or resentment behind as if throwing it into the Gomti river, emphasizing the importance of unity.

He highlighted that the BJP had made significant efforts to accommodate workers in government bodies and organizations across the state. However, discontent among party leaders and regional leaders was noted during recent feedback sessions. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath invoked former Deputy PM L K Advani's teachings, stating that while political priorities can change, the party's values remain constant.

State BJP president Pankaj Chaudhary urged workers to introspect on several aspects and maintain dialogue with party organization. Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya emphasized the need to put aside personal aspirations and focus on the electoral battle. Home Minister Shah criticized the Samajwadi Party and Congress, predicting a decisive victory for the BJP in the upcoming polls, emphasizing the need for facts and policies over confusion and baseless allegations.
