Amit Shah Calls for revenge in riot affected western UP

Bijnor: Raising the communal temperature in riot-affected western UP going to polls on Monday, Narendra Modi's close aide Amit Shah spoke of the current elections as being an opportunity to take "revenge for the insult"

In another meeting yesterday near Muzaffarnagar, Shah said, "We have been treated like second class citizens. Justice has not been done. It is not the time for bullets."

"It was in the time of Mughals that swords and arrows were used for revenge, now you have to press the button. Press the right button, and show those who have done this their right place."

"People who have insulted our community, those who have killed our youth, can we feel honoured sitting with them," Shah said.

The BJP leader said that once a Modi government was formed at the centre, the Samajwadi government in UP would "also collapse".

"If you vote for Modi, not only Modi government will be formed in Delhi but at the same time, Mulayam Singh Yadav's Samajwadi Party government will collapse. One vote of yours can be used for two purposes," he said.
