With ruling Samajwadi Party and Uttar Pradesh government pulling in different directions, BJP chief Amit Shah today said neither "bua" (aunt Mayawati) nor "bhatija" (nephew Akhilesh) can improve law and order in the state.
He also lashed out at "chacha-bhatija" (state SP chief Shivpal and CM Akhilesh), saying a dispute between them over "sharing of booty" left the state deprived of funds for implementation of central government schemes.
Shah was addressing ‘Sankalp Maharally’ at exhibition ground in Etawah, a Samajwadi Party pocket borough.
Attacking both Samajwadi Party and BSP on the law and order front, he recalled that under the Kalyan Singh government, criminals were either behind the bars or were underground.
He alleged during the SP and BSP rule, mafia elements flourished.
Shah said neither Mayawati nor Akhilesh can improve law and order and, given a chance, BJP will show what law and order meant.
