Jinnah-Azam-Mukhtar or Jandhan-Aadhaar-Mobile?: Amit Shah Pumps Up the JAM in Azamgarh

News 18  

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday launched a strong attack on the “appeasement politics” of former chief minister Akhilesh Yadav, saying the Samajwadi Party only had the ‘JAM’ of Jinnah, Azam Khan and Mukhtar Ansari on offer for Uttar Pradesh. Shah was in Azamgarh with Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to lay the foundation stone of a state university, the Home Minister said would be named after OBC icon Raja Suhel Dev, a move seen as an answer to Akhilesh Yadav joining hands with Om Prakash Rajbhar’s party which is named after Raja Suhel Dev. Yogi Adityanath in his speech said Azamgarh had given two CMs in Mulayam Singh Yadav and Akhilesh Yadav to Uttar Pradesh but they were also responsible for destroying Azamgarh’s image. Amit Shah also gave the clarion call under Yogi’s leadership for 300-plus seats as an aim for the BJP in Uttar Pradesh.
