Rajbhar cautions BJP against 'price rise'

UP Cabinet Minister and Suheldev Bhartiya Samaj Party (SBSP) president Om Prakash Rajbhar has warned the ruling BJP, saying the country has had a history of governments falling because of price rise.

"In our country, there is a history of governments falling due to price rise. The people of the country have the real power. Whenever there is rise in petrol or diesel prices, the party in power has to suffer as this affects traders, youths, farmers and the poor," Rajbhar said in a Tweet on Sunday.

On proposed changes to the SC/ST Act, Rajbhar said, "I am against the amendment made by the government. It should not be misused. I am with the Supreme Court on this. Fights take place between two to four people but cases are registered against eight to ten."
When asked whether his party will continue its alliance with BJP till 2019, Rajbhar has maintained, "We have formed an alliance till 2024. If BJP says it does not need us, I will immediately return them my ministerial post. If raising voice for the backwards is wrong, then BJP can immediately snap ties with us."
