“Mafia ruled UP, Yogi govt eliminated it”: Amit Shah highlights political stability, policy implementation under BJP govt
"Ek zamaney mein ... “There was a time when the mafia ruled UP," Home Minister Amit Shah said and even applauded chief minister Yogi Adityanath's performance.
Addressing the UP International Trade Show 2026, Shah recalled the situation in the state before the BJP came to power in 2017 and said the Yogi Adityanath government had taken steps to eliminate mafia elements.
“There was a time when the mafia ruled UP. In 2017, the BJP formed the government here, with Yogi Adityanath assuming the role of Chief Minister.
The Yogi government has successfully eliminated the mafia across the state, and this has created a conducive atmosphere for investment...” Shah said.
He also highlighted political stability under Prime Minister Narendra Modi and said policy continuity and implementation had helped transform India into a global manufacturing hub.
“Political stability has become a hallmark of our leader, PM Modi. By earning the public's trust over 3 consecutive terms as Prime Minister, he has not only formulated policies but also ensured their consistent implementation on the ground, he said.
The Union home minister recalled that in 2013, the Uttar Pradesh government had organised a conference to attract industrial investment to the state, but the event had to be held in Delhi due to the law-and-order situation in Lucknow.
“In 2013, UP govt organised a conference to attract industrial investment to the state... At that time, it had to be held in Delhi. When the media raised questions about this, UP officials frankly admitted that the law-and-order situation in Lucknow was such that no investor was willing to come there.
That is why they had to move the event to Delhi,” Shah said.
He contrasted the situation with the present and credited the change to the “double-engine” government.
“But look at the situation today: That very same Uttar Pradesh has become free from fear, a hub for investment, and an engine of national growth. This transformation is the magic of the 'double-engine' government,” he said.
Shah said the transformation had enabled Uttar Pradesh to set an ambitious target of becoming a USD 1 trillion economy.
Amit Shah and Yogi toured in same vehicle, spoke at length on stage
"Rifles made in Amethi have already kept Naxalites and terrorists awake. During the SP-BSP rule, there was an industry of crime. A cottage industry of country-made pistols and guns had flourished. Today, the defence corridor has been built in place of the country-made arms industry," the Home Minister said.
Shah reached the expo with CM Yogi in a golf cart at around 11:30 am.
The two leaders visited stalls and took information about the products.
Both leaders also spoke for a long time on the stage.
