UP polls 2012: West UP can be industrial hub, says BJP

GHAZIABAD: Western Uttar Pradesh has a potential to become the commercial and industrial hub of India but during the last decade has turned into the epicentre of criminal and communal activities, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) said Tuesday.

The BJP leader Ananth Kumar claimed here that to spark communal hatred the Congress, the Bahujan Samaj Party and the Samajwadi Party were hand in glove and were aiming to amend the constitution for introducing the much talked-about Muslim quota in the government jobs.

Ananth Kumar also trained BJP workers in micro level booth management.

He arrived here from Gorakhpur by road and said while travelling he had seen enthusiasm in the electorate to vote against the ruling party.

The heavy turnout of about 60 percent in the polling phases held so far showed that the voters were impatient to throw the BSP government out, he said.
