‘Instead of illegal weapons, UP now makes missiles’

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday said illegal weapons were made earlier in Uttar Pradesh to scare and kill people but now shells and missiles are being manufactured to protect the country.
He was apparently referring to the defence industrial corridor coming up in the state. Shah also listed various achievements of the BJP government in the state. Chandauli will go to polls during the seventh phase on March 7.
“Earlier, illegal weapons were made in Uttar Pradesh, which were used to scare or kill people. Today, shells and missiles are being made here, which are used to protect India. This change has come during the BJP government,” Shah said addressing an election meeting here.”
Shah also exuded confidence that the BJP will win the ongoing assembly elections. The home minister said, “In UP, one or two ‘bahubalis’ (musclemen) are still left, who will be sent to the jail after March 10.”
