Striking out at the Yogi Adityanath government, NDA ally SBSP today raised a fresh banner of revolt, accusing the chief minister of not following "coalition dharma" and "ignoring" the party.
"I will have detailed discussions with BJP president Amit Shah on various issues when he visits Lucknow on April 10 and then decide my party's course of action," SBSP leader and UP minister Om Prakash Rajbhar told reporters here.
He also said the Suheldev Bhartiya Samaj Party (SBSP) would rethink about the alliance, if Shah did not agree on the issues raised by the party.
Seeking to downplay Rajbhar's outburst, BJP spokesman Rakesh Tripathi said, "The BJP is duly discharging its coalition dharma in Uttar Pradesh."
Attacking the UP chief minister, Rajbhar said, "Why are MPs and MLAs angry with the (Yogi Adityanath) government? Why are they going to Delhi to convey their grievances? Why are the MLAs angry and are sitting on protests?"
On the recent appointments made in the state secondary education board, he said, "The BJP's slogan of 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikaas' is not being implemented in letter and spirit as relatives of senior BJP leaders from upper castes have been appointed."
