Exuding confidence for the victory of the BJP in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, Shah said that Samajwadi Party has been wiped out from the state after the first and second phases of elections. 

"The Samajwadi Party has been wiped out. Western Uttar Pradesh has done the work of laying the foundation of the BJP government with more than 300 seats. In the third phase, this majority has to be made grander," he said. 

Taking a jibe at the Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, Shah said, "Akhilesh (SP chief) asks what have we done? If someone has yellow-coloured glasses, they`ll see everything in yellow only... guns and bullets used to be made under Akhilesh`s government, now instead of `goli`, `gole (ammunitions)` is made, to fire against Pakistan." 

The single-phase Assembly elections in phase two of Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls concluded on Monday. The counting of votes will take place on March 10.
