Saharanpur: Kicking off the Uttar Pradesh poll campaign, Bharatiya Janata Party president Amit Shah on Saturday took a dig at infighting in the Mulayam Singh Yadav family and targeted ruling Samajwadi Party as well as Bahujan Samaj Party, saying neither party is bothered about development of the state. “While on one hand, it is the nephew (Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav) who is abusing the uncle (SP state unit president Shivpal Yadav), on the other Behenji (BSP supremo Mayawati) is abusing both of them...No one is concerned about the development of the state,” Shah said. SP and BSP cannot improve the situation here and it will be only the BJP government with full majority which can bring the state back on tracks,” he said. Attacking ‘goonda’ elements in the ruling SP, he alleged that the party is mired in illegal mining among other ills like corruption. “If she returns to power, she will set up 200 to 300 more of her statues instead of doing any good for the state,” he said.
