The BJP will form the next government with majority as nationalism has taken over casteism in this Lok Sabha election, former Samajwadi Party leader and Rajya Sabha MP Amar Singh said Wednesday.
In an interview to PTI, Singh also attacked the SP leadership, accusing party patriarch Mulayam Singh Yadav of "doublespeak" and ditching him.
"The BJP will be able to form majority government at the Centre as this time nationalism has taken over casteism and the scenario has changed in favour of Narendra Modi," he said.
Speaking about the difference between the 2014 and 2019 general elections, Singh told PTI over phone that there was a 'NaMo' wave in 2014, but this time people will vote for him for the tremendous work he has done in the last five years.
"From medical treatment to LPG cylinders, electricity, housing and electricity, the BJP government has worked in all areas and touched the common man's life," said Singh, who due to illness is not actively campaigning.
On being asked about SP-BSP alliance in Uttar Pradesh and the impact it would make, he said,"Mayawatiji (Bahujan Samaj Party chief) is preaching discipline to SP cadres. It only signifies fall of the SP as a political party."
On his former colleague Mulayam Singh Yadav, Singh said, "He does doublespeak and cannot be trusted. He ditched both Shivpal and me and sided with son Akhilesh."
Asked about his closeness with the BJP, he said, "I am not a member of the BJP. I also went to Rampur to campaign for Modi and not (candidate) Jaya Prada."
Azam Khan's son Abdullah Khan has recently said that "both Ali and Bajrang Bali are ours, but we don't want Anarkali"
