Union Home Minister Amit Shah

Senior BJP leader and Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday took a jibe at Samajwadi Party (SP) saying that mafia in Uttar Pradesh can only be found in jails or the candidate list of the party.

Addressing a public meeting at Atrauli, Mr Shah said, "If you search for mafia in Uttar Pradesh, then it is visible in only three places: Jail, outside Uttar Pradesh, and in the list of candidates of Samajwadi Party."

Criticising both the SP and Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), the BJP leader said, "The goons would harass the people of Uttar Pradesh under Behenji's (Mayawati) and Akhilesh (Yadav) ji's government."

Praising Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Amit Shah said, "In UP, the police were afraid of the mafia. Mafia has now moved out from Uttar Pradesh under Yogi Adityanath ji's leadership."
