Expressing confidence that the BJP will cross the 300 mark in the 2022 Assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh, Home Minister Amit Shah today launched a mega membership drive — “Mera Parivaar-BJP Parivaar” — from Lucknow.

Significantly, Shah also said “without UP there cannot be a government at the Centre and the credit of making Narendra Modi governments in 2014 and 2019 go to the people of the state”.

Asking people to vote for the saffron party in polls next year, Shah said, “We have fulfilled all promises made to the people in 2017, but we need five years more to make UP as the number one state in the country. If you want to see him as PM in 2024 then you will have to elect Yogi Adityanath as CM in 2022,” Shah said.

Shah also told party cadres that a “toran” with slogan “Mera Parivaar-BJP Parivaar” should adorn every house, but while doing so they should also ask people their problems and expectations. “The party’s manifesto will be prepared on the feedback you bring from people,” he said.

Amid speculations of differences between the two top BJPleaders, Shah praised Adityanath for law and order in the state. Shah did not spare rivals — SP and BSP — calling them “barsati” politicians that think only about themselves.
