 "Assembly Election Results 2017: UP result will end politics of caste, says Amit Shah")
Happy over the sweeping BJP win, party President Amit Shah on Saturday said the results will end the politics of "caste, dynasty politics and appeasement".
"This victory will change the course of Indian politics in the coming days. It will end the politics of casteism, parivaarvaad and appeasement," the Bharatiya Janata Party leader told the media here.
"Voters of Uttar Pradesh have rejected the politcs of casteism, of family one-upmanship and appeasement. They have voted for performance-based politics and governance," Shah added.
He said he was glad that people gave such a massive mandate to the BJP to the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi after independence.
