BJP president Amit Shah said on Sunday that the time had come for a regime change in Uttar Pradesh as the Samajwadi Party government had failed on all fronts and belied the hopes of the people.
Speaking at a rally in Varanasi, he asked the people to give the BJP a clear mandate in the 2017 Assembly elections as they had done in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections.
He accused the SP government of not passing on the benefits of reservation to all castes. Corruption, lawlessness and unemployment peaked in the State. A BJP government would ensure that all castes and communities got equal opportunities, he said.
The BJP president said his party was sure of its victory in Bihar as well Uttar Pradesh in the forthcoming state polls.
