People of the state see BJP as an alternative: Shah

People will support BJP and remove the corrupt: Shah
Shah was elated by the response received from the public to the roadshow. He said, "Many people have gathered in this small town to participate in the program, which shows that the people of the state will lend their support to the saffron party to remove the alternating corrupt governments of the Congress-led UDF and the CPI(M)-led LDF."
