Ahead of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) National President Jagat Prakash Nadda on Friday held a door-to-door campaign in Shahjahanpur in support of BJP candidates.

"Went from door to door in Shahjahanpur, Uttar Pradesh and appealed to the public to give their blessings and support to the BJP," he said in a tweet.

"Today, there are five international airports in Uttar Pradesh. Metro rail construction is underway in Noida, Lucknow, Kanpur, Ghaziabad. Earlier, there was land mafia in the State, but now lakhs of houses have been constructed. Over 2 crore 'Izzat Ghar' also constructed," said the BJP President.

He further slammed Opposition parties and said that their agenda was to promote land mafia, sand mafia, and there was no law and order in the State
