Mulayam responsible for dismal devp in UP: Modi
Agra,
Apr
4:
Drawing
a
contrast
between
development
in
Gujarat
and
Uttar
Pradesh,
senior
BJP
leader
and
Gujarat
Chief
Minister
Narendra
Modi
has
blamed
Mulayam
Singh
Yadav
for
the
dismal
situation
of
the
state.
Raising
the
development
issue
durng
an
election
meeting
at
Ramlila
Ground
last
night,
Mr.
Modi
compared
the
development
in
both
the
state
while
alleging
that
malafide
intention
and
wrong
policies
by
UP
leaders
were
responsible
for
the
lack
of
development
here.
''Leaders
like
Mulayam
Singh
Yadav
should
be
blamed
for
the
backwardness
of
UP,''
he
alleged.
It
was
shocking
that
the
state
with
a
lot
of
resources
had
been
presenting
such
a
dismal
development
scenario,
he
said.
Crores
of
rupees
had
been
spent
in
the
state
by
Samajwadi
Party-ruled
state
in
the
past
but
the
pathetic
power
situation,
inadequate
educational
facilties
in
UP
manifested
ill-intentions
of
the
leadership,
Mr
Modi
said.
Coming
down
heavily
on
the
Muslim
appeasement
policies
of
the
Central
as
well
as
the
UP
government,
the
senior
BJP
leader
dared
SP
president
Mulayam
Singh
Yadav
and
BSP
supremo
Mayawati
to
publicly
favour
hanging
of
Afzal,
the
main
accused
in
Parlaiment
attack
cae.
''It
is
shameful
that
the
political
parties
like
Congress
and
SP
are
against
the
hanging
of
Afzal
in
order
to
pursue
their
appeasement
policy
for
the
sake
of
votes,''
he
charged.
Referring
to
scrapping
of
POTA,
Mr
Modi
lamented,
''the
move
has
given
strength
to
the
terrorist
elements.
It
was
no
secret
that
the
anti-nationalist
elements
had
celebrated
in
the
valley
when
POTA
was
scrapped." The
Gujarat
chief
minister
said
the
nationalist
ideolgy
of
the
BJP
the
only
viable
alternative
in
the
present
situation
when
all
other
parties
were
only
engaged
in
follwoing
separatist,
casteist
and
religion-based
politics.
