Congress, other opposition parties had no ideology, relied on caste or family: Amit Shah

BJP president Amit Shah on Thursday said the Congress and the other opposition parties had no ideology and relied on caste or on a family.

“Only the BJP was committed to principles and an ideology,” Shah told party workers in Agra.

The BJP president alleged that the term of UPA was full of corruption scam and said the country was in a bad shape when the Narendra Modi-led NDA came to power.

Praising the Yogi Adityanath government in UP, Shah said the government was doing a good job on the law and order front and the criminals were now fleeing the state.

“During the terms of the Bahujan Samaj Party and the Samajwadi Party, the law and order situation in the state was deplorable,” Shah added.

Earlier, the BJP president held three rounds of discussions with party leaders from western Uttar Pradesh on strategy for the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.

Shah met party workers in Varanasi and Mirzapur on Wednesday.
