“I was listening to Akhilesh Yadav's speech on TV, where he says that crime has increased. Akhilesh'ji, where did you bring your spectacles from? What spectacles do you use? I have brought a comparison between the 5 years of Yogi'ji and you. Dacoity has gone down by 70% in Yogi govt,” news agency ANI quoted Shah as saying

"Modi did what the country could not do in the past 70 years. He repealed 370 from the constitution. He provided justice to Muslim women by repealing triple talaq. Samajwadi party used to satire us in 2014 that Ram Mandir banayenge, lekin tithing nahi batayenge. But a grand ram Mandir is now being built," Shah said.

Amit Shah's remarks came as he laid the foundation for Maa Shakumbhari Devi University in Saharanpur’s Behat Assembly constituency, just months ahead of the state Assembly elections.

Previously, in the 2017 Assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh, the Bharatiya Janata Party bagged 312 seats out of the 403-seat Uttar Pradesh Assembly while Samajwadi Party (SP) bagged 47 seats, Bahujan Samajwadi Party (BSP) won 19 and Congress could manage to win only seven seats. The rest of the seats were bagged by other candidates.
