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

Shah's remark evoked sharp response from ruling SP which demanded the EC to take immediate cognisance of it.  

“Such a remark is an insult to Azamgarh. BJP wants to win the elections by communalising the atmosphere.

The EC should immediately take cognisance of Shah's remark and take action against him.

Though EC had once taken action against him, he has not mended his ways,” senior SP leader C P Rai alleged.  

Attacking Mulayam, Shah said the SP leader's concept of socialism was limited to “promoting nepotism” and added that he was preparing political ground for his second son Prateek Yadav in Azamgarh.
