"Black money hoarded by some people turned into scrap overnight that's why such people are worried. But why Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav and Mayawati are worried after demonetisation?," Naqvi was quoted as questioning at a rally here.
Addressing BJP's 'Parivartan Yatra' at three places here, Naqvi accused SP and BSP of ruining the state and asserted only the saffron party can bring about development in the poll-bound state.
Naqvi's "Babua and Bua" dig at Akhilesh and Mayawati was in reference with the Chief Minister and his predecessor calling each other as so few days ago while exchanging barbs.
Hailing Prime Minister Narendra Modi for taking the "bold and decisive" action against corruption, the Union Minister of State for Minority Affairs (Independent Charge) dubbed the demonetisation, a "rashtraniti" (nation'policy)
Alluding to the recent feud within the Samajwadi Party, particularly between the CM and his uncle Shivpal Yadav, Naqvi stated that people of Uttar Pradesh are "fed up" with the "chacha and bhatija".
Alleging "worst" law and order situation been the norm in Uttar Pradesh during SP and BSP regimes, Naqvi charged the SP with failing to act against land and mining mafia during its past five-year rule.
Naqvi said the Modi government at Centre has been working for the socio-economic-educational empowerment of farmers, dalits and weaker sections including minorities.
Schemes such as 'Jan Dhan Yojana' and 'Ujjwala Yojana' have proved to be a "guarantee of progress" for the last person of the society. More than one crore free of cost LPG connections have been given to poor families under the 'Ujjwala' scheme, the BJP leader said.
