UP Civic Poll Results Nothing Compared To What Will Happen In Gujarat, Says Amit Shah 

Bharatiya Janata Party President Amit Shah said that his party's victory in the Uttar Pradesh mayoral polls was nothing compared to what will happen in Gujarat on Dec. 18, when the state Assembly election results would be declared.

“In the Uttar Pradesh municipal corporation election, the Congress did not win a single seat. On the other hand, the BJP flag has soared higher under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and (UP) Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath," he said while addressing an election rally at Somnath in Gir Somnath district.

The BJP bagged 14 of the 16 mayoral seats in Uttar Pradesh.

“The Congress has been shouting for the last three months that Congress is coming in Gujarat, while the people of Uttar Pradesh said Congress is going,” Shah said.

“After the counting on Dec. 18, the BJP will emerge victorious and form the government with 150 seats,” Shah said

Shah attacked the Congress over the GDP data, saying that its leaders had fallen silent after the September-quarter GDP figures were announced.

“Three months back, GDP had come down due to some effects of the Goods and Services Tax, and the entire Congress leadership started appearing on TV, shouting that an economic slowdown had descended on the country. The Uttar Pradesh results have made them even more silent,” he said.

Shah also attacked the opposition party, which said that BJP was contesting the Gujarat polls on the agenda of casteism and dynastic rule. Shah said that BJP is fighting for development.
