JHANSI: Promising a "clean and efficient" government if the party comes to power in Uttar Pradesh, BJP chief Rajnath Singh on Sunday accused the SP and BSP of "caste- based" and the Congress of "appeasement" politics that has led to a worsening law and order situation.

Addressing an election rally here, he described the "delay" in the hanging of Mohd Afzal Guru in the Parliament attack case as an example of Congress' "appeasement politics" and blamed the UPA government for the spiralling prices.

He said the UPA government at the Centre had "failed on all fronts". Turning to Chief Minister Mulayam Singh Yadav, Singh said "no section of the society is feeling safe under the present dispensation".

He said law and order situation was worsening day by day and the state was ruled by "mafias and criminals".

Singh described the SP and BSP as "caste-based opportunist parties" in an oblique reference to the large backward classes vote bank of this state.

He appealed to the electorate to give the BJP an absolute majority so that UP could get a "clean and efficient government".
