Amit Shah allowed to campaign in UP

New Delhi,Apr 17 (IBNS): In a significant development, the Election Commission (EC) on Thursday lifted ban on Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)'s general secretary Amit Shah on campaigning in politically crucial Uttar Pradesh.

"This came after Shah told the commission that he will not use derogatory or abusive language in poll campaigns," the Hindustan Times reported.

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)'s Uttar Pradesh in-charge Amit Shah had earlier urged people to take their revenge by voting for his party in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections.

Addressing a rally at a riot-hit Jat village near Muzaffarnagar, Shah said, "If you want to take revenge, vote for the BJP."

"In today's time you can't take revenge with swords and arrows like it was done in the Mughat era. But today the people are constantly being denied justice ... they are not getting their rights. So, you press the right button (on the Electronic Voting Machine) and show people their right place," he said.

The EC had banned him from  holding public rallies and road shows Uttar Pradesh.
