Tribal leader and NPP MLA Kirodilal Meena today vowed to support disgruntled BJP leader Ghanshyam Tiwari who formed Deen Dayal Vahini a year before after his alleged differences with Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje.
Meena, who met Tiwari at his residence here to mark first anniversary of Deen Dayal Vahini, constituted on the ideology of RSS leader Deen Dayal Upadhyaya, said he will support the latter as their leader in the state.
Speaking on the future political role of his organisation, Tiwari said he has travelled around 1 lakh KM and met the people to get their feedback.
"I will present feedback in the state Assembly and then decide the future course of the organisation," he said.
On the occasion, Tiwari was elevated to the post of state president of the organisation from patron.
On the sidelines of the event, Meena rubbished allegations of rape against him saying the government should get "my narco test done".
To remain in power, people have stooped to the lowest level in politics, he said.
Speaking on the reservation issue to SBCs, Meena said, "Quota was struck down as the state government did not fulfil its promise to get the provision protected under Schedule IX of the Constitution.
