“During the BJP’s rule, more than 20 sugar mills were revived and our government has also done the work of building five new sugar mills,” he said.All praise for the Yogi Adityanath government for bringing about a marked improvement in law and order scenario of the state, especially the western region, Shah said that when he had come here in 2014, migration was a major issue in Kairana, Muzaffarnagar and Saharanpur.“You formed the BJP government in 2017 and the Yogi government stopped the terror of goons here, stopped migration and made people feel safe,” he said. “The arrogant alliance stitched in this election is a congregation of people involved in scams and corruption worth Rs 12 lakh crore. Its goal is to make people from their family Prime Minister and Chief Minister, whereas PM Modi’s aim is to strengthen the country’s farmers, poor, labourers, Dalits, tribals and make them stand on their feet,” he asserted.Earlier, sharing the stage with the Union Home Minister, newly-inducted NDA ally RLD chief Jayant Chaudhury took a jibe at SP chief Akhilesh Yadav without taking his name. He said the fight for Muzaffarnagar was an issue of prestige for him and asked voters to save his pride.“I have never said anything against ‘him’ (Akhilesh Yadav) personally nor will I do it ever irrespective of the abuses hurled at me,” said the RLD chief.Notably, the SP-RLD alliance fell apart over the Muzaffarnagar seat. While Jayant wanted it, calling it his family legacy, Akhilesh was adamant at not leaving it for the RLD and fielded Harendra Mallik, a former MLA, from there.Muzaffarnagar will go to the polls in the first phase on April 19. Of the 27 seats in western UP, the BJP had won 19, losing eight to the SP-BSP-RLD grand alliance in 2019.
