Union Home Minister Amit Shah attacked the Samajwadi Party (SP) saying there was "a bahubali, a mini CM, a scam and riot" in every district of the state during its rule while the BJP government has given "industry, a product, a medical college and identity" to each district of the state.

The Home Minister, who was campaigning in Saharanpur for the assembly polls in the state, accused Samajwadi Party of practising "appeasement politics". "What was SP Government`s role in Muzaffarnagar riots? Those who were involved in the riots were made victims and the victims were made accused and put behind bars, just for the sake of appeasement," he said. "During Samajwadi Party rule, there was a `bahubali`, a mini CM, a scam and a riot in every district of the state. This was the definition of development for the Samajwadi Party. Today the BJP government has given industry, a product, a medical college and identity to every district," he said.
