Questioning Samajwadi Party’s Muslim prem, the State unit of the BJP asked as why Mulayam Singh Yadav has not fielded any candidate from the minority community in the forthcoming by-elections.
“This is strange that the Samajwadi Party always talks about welfare of Muslims. But when time come to deliver, it looks towards Yadav clan. In the last lok Sabha elections all the Muslim candidates fielded by the SP and the BSP lost elections. If SP’s Muslim prem was genuine it should have fielded a Muslim candidate from Mainpuri. Instead, the party fielded a candidate from the Yadav family,” BJP State president laxmikant Bajpai told The Pioneer here on Monday.
He said that the seat was vacated by Mulayam . If he had sacrificed his seat for a Muslim, the message should have gone well among the members of the minority community. Then SP’s Muslim prem should have been justified. But now it looks sham, he said.
“The Samajwadi Party has always used the Muslim card for its own benefit and now Mulayam is more interested in sending his grandnephew to the lok Sabha rather than any Muslims,” he said.
