"ABCD of the Samajwadi Party is different. For them A means 'Apradh and Aatank', B means 'Bhai-Bhatijavad', C means 'Corruption' and D means 'Danga'," Shah said.

New Delhi: Union Home Minister Amit Shah hit out at the Samajwadi Party on Tuesday, saying it stood for nepotism, corruption and violence. Addressing a rally in Hardoi in poll-bound Uttar Pradesh, Amit Shah claimed that the SP had its own 'ABCD'.

"ABCD of the Samajwadi Party is different. For them A means 'Apradh and Aatank', B means 'Bhai-Bhatijavad', C means 'Corruption' and D means 'Danga'," Amit Shah said, setting the tone for the upcoming 2022 assembly elections.

At another rally in Omnagar in Sultanpur, the Home Minister also alleged that the Samajwadi Party was connected to the massive cash recovery in Kanpur from a businessman named Piyush Jain.

"Recently, a perfume businessman from Samajwadi Party was caught. Akhilesh Ji is squirming, asking why we conduct raids. Rs 250 crore were seized from his (Piyush Jain) house. Akhilesh Ji, where did this money come from?," Amit Shah said.

'Modi Govt Is Committed To The Development Of Poor': Amit Shah

Amit Shah said the BJP would form the government in Uttar Pradesh under the leadership of Yogi Adityanath by winning more than 300 seats in the upcoming elections.

He said that when the SP and Mayawati's Bahujan Samaj Party were in office, they never considered the development of all parts of society. "However, Prime Minister Narendra Modi strived for 'sabka saath, sabka vikas'," he added.

"We had said that we will end corruption from the country, we did that. Modi government is committed to the development of poor," Amit Shah further said.
