Shah dubs Azamgarh 'base of terrorists', SP retorts

Azamgarh/Ballia: Narendra Modi's close aide Amit Shah today landed in a controversy by dubbing Azamgarh as the “base of terrorists”, drawing sharp reaction from ruling SP, which demanded that Election Commission should take cognisance immediately

Dubbing Congress the “most corrupt” government, Shah alleged that it usurped Rs 12 lakh crore through scams during its 10-year-rule.

Attacking SP and BSP supremos, Shah said Mulayam and Mayawati were claiming that they would become the next prime minister, but they have no existence outside UP.  

At a meeting in Ballia, while replying to criticism by Congress against the BJP prime ministerial candidate, he said Modi has not been accused of a single scam or corruption during his 14-year-rule.
