During his address, Shah launched an attack on the Samajwadi Party and said that the party has a different meaning of ABCD and BJP has put an end to it.

“The ABCD of the Samajwadi Party is reversed. For them, ‘A’ means ‘apradh and aatank’ (crime and terror), ‘B’ stands for ‘bhai-bhatijavad’ (nepotism), ‘C’ means ‘corruption’ and ‘D’ is ‘danga’ (riot). BJP has put an end to this ABCD,” Shah said.
