Amit Shah said that Yogi Adityanath-led BJP government brought an end to 'Gundaraj'

Bareilly:

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday hit out at the Samajwadi Party (SP) and said that Akhilesh Yadav government promoted 'mafia raj' and 'gunda Raj' during their tenure while law and order was established under Yogi government.

Mr Shah, while addressing a roadshow at Uttar Pradesh's Bareilly, said that the Yogi Adityanath-led BJP government brought an end to the 'Gundaraj' and established the law and order in the state.

"During the SP rule, whole UP used to fear from the goons and mafias. Now, Yogi-Adityanath has ended the 'Gundaraj' and has established the law and order in the state," Mr Shah said.

"Akhilesh Yadav used to say 'mandir wahin banayenge, tithi nahi batayenge' (will construct the temple, but will not tell the date). Now let's see if he can stop the construction of Ram Temple in Ayodhya," the Union Minister reiterated.

"Public affection and support show that this crowd will bring BJP to power again with over 300 seats," he added.
