In the battle of acronyms in Uttar Pradesh, where political discourse during campaigning for assembly polls has been increasingly corrosive, Amit Shah today added a new one - KASAB. The name of the 26/11 terrorist, when deconstructed, means Congress, Samajwadi Party and BSP, the BJP president said at a rally today. "Until Uttar Pradesh gets rid of K-A-S-A-B, there will be no development in the state. Ka (in Hindi) is for Congress, Sa for Samajwadi Party and Ba for BSP," Mr Shah said in Chauri Chaura, a historic town in Uttar Pradesh. He did not even finish the last bit, letting the crowd guess it.
