To maintain hold over the minorities after kicking out their Muslim face, Naseemudeen Siddiqui, the Bahujan Samaj Party on Wednesday made entry of two more of old senior leaders from Hardoi, who were expelled from the party just a year back.
Former UP Minister Abdul Mannan of Sandila (Hardoi) and his brother Abdul Hannan, also an ex- MlA of Hardoi, both along with their supporters joined BSP in the presence of party’s State president, Ram Achal Rajbhar here on Wednesday noon.
Interestingly, the party former general secretary Naseemudeen Siddiqui (now expelled) had announced the expulsion of both the above brothers last year on May 26, accusing them of engaging in anti-party activities.
Now on Wednesday, soon after joining BSP, Mannan, who earlier joined Samajwadi Party after being expelled by BSP, took the opportunity to blame Siddiqui for working against the interest of the Muslim leadership within BSP and said that the Siddiqui wanted that no other leader of his community should remain in the party and hence he managed their ouster. He accused Siddiqui of misguiding Mayawati.
