‘If you have the courage, dump us’: Rajbhar dares BJP

Lucknow: A disgruntled Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party Sunday hit back at the BJP’s Uttar Pradesh chief and challenged its NDA ally to dump it for daring “to call a spade a spade”. SBSP chief and senior UP minister Om Prakash Rajbhar is quoted to have said “Why are you unnecessarily carrying us? If you have the courage, dump us. The government has no time for welfare activities for backward people.”

The NDA ally was peeved over non-allotment of an accommodation to run the party office. SBSP chief also said that they were also promised posts of chairman and two vice-chairmen in different corporations, equivalent to the rank of minister and minister of state, but this too did not happen.

Rajbhar dared BJP to dump them if BJP is unnecessarily carrying them. Rajbhar, who is known for attacking the BJP quite often made the fresh attack a day after UP BJP chief Mahendra Nath Pandey had termed Rajbhar a “necessary evil” and stated that comments made by the SBSP chief “should not be taken seriously”.
