Targeting the Congress-SP poll tie-up in UP, Shah branded it as an alliance of "corruption and lawlessness" and that 'achche din' for the state will come once the Akhilesh Yadav government is voted out.
Addressing a rally here, the BJP leader alluded to Congress Vice President Gandhi and UP Chief Minister Yadav saying "both are 'khoobsurat shehzade' (beautiful princes) who are out to mislead the public".
"Congress-SP alliance is alliance of corruption and criminalisation. Have you forgotten the corruption done by Rahul Baba's government? Who does not know the Mathura case of Uttar Pradesh...There is a striking similarity between the corruption of both," Shah said.
He alleged that the state government was discriminating on basis of caste and religion on virtually every issue from distribution of laptops to lodging of FIRs.
He declared that all slaughterhouses would be closed in the state if BJP forms the government.
He also repeated the BJP poll manifesto promise that "anti-exodus squads" would be formed to prevent migration of people from districts like Saharanpur or Kairana.
Commenting on recent statement of UP CM, he said Akhilesh is asking Modi when the good days would come for UP.
"My answer to him is 'achche din' (good days) of UP would come when SP government would be replaced by BJP government since people would then be free from atrocities of goons," Shah said.
