Shivpal is working for BJP, says Rajbhar

Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh minister Om Prakash Rajbhar, who is also the president of Suheldev Bhartiya Samaj Party (SBSP), has claimed that Mr Shivpal Yadav is working at the behest of the BJP.

SP president Akhilesh Yadav on Monday in Kanpur had likened Shivpal’s Samajwadi Secular Morcha as one of the many ‘B, C, D teams of the BJP that will crop up before elections’.

Mr Rajbhar, on the other hand , said, “The allotment of a plush bungalow and then the Z Plus security to Shivpal Yadav proves that he is working for the BJP”.

“I have been seeking allotment of a house for my party’s office but my demand has been ignored for more than one year but Shivpal Yadav gets a huge bungalow,” he stated.

Mr Rajbhar also warned the BJP that it will suffer losses in the Lok Sabha elections if it did not clarify its stand on reservation issue. “The poor will eat your money and your chicken but will not vote for you if you do not work for the betterment of the community. The BJP should remember Gorakhpur, Phulpur and Kairana where it lost bypoll,” Mr Rajbhar said.

Interestingly, Mr Rajbhar has met Shivpal Yadav more than once in the past few months.
