Union Home and Cooperation Minister Shri Amit Shah while addressing a huge rally in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh on July 02, 2023 said the successful alliance of BJP and Apna Dal (Sonelal) has won four elections in the state. The Union Home Minister made these remarks while addressing a function in Lucknow to mark the birth anniversary of late Shri Sonelal Patel, the father of Union minister Smt. Anupriya Patel.

He said, “In UP, the BJP and Apna Dal (S) have contested four elections together – two Lok Sabha polls (2014 and 2019) and two assembly elections (2017 and 2022) – and have unitedly won them. As a result, UP has got completely rid of divisive forces (‘vighatankaari shaktiyon’) of SP and BSP,” Shri Shah said.

He hailed PM Shri Modi for making the country safer in the face of external threats and evolving geo-political challenges, adding that terrorists from across the border would routinely cross over into India and unleash attacks on innocent civilians under the previous Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government.

“Today, terror attacks have come down significantly in the country. Now, India counters any misadventure from across the border with surgical and air strikes. Prime Minister Shri Modi has worked to make the country safe and strong. The country’s prestige and global standing have been further enhanced under the leadership of the Prime Minister,” he added.

Among others, UP CM Yogi Adityanath, deputy CMs Shri Keshav Prasad Maurya and Shri Brajesh Pathak, BJP State President Shri Chaudhary Bhupendra Singh, the President of the Republican Party of India Shri Ramdas Athawale, Apna Dal (S) leader and union Minister Smt. Anupriya Patel and Nishad Party Chief Shri Sanjay Nishad were among the dignitaries who attended the event.
