Shivpal attacks BJP at PSPL rally attended by Mulayam, Aparna

Pragatisheel Samajwadi Party (Lohia) chief Shivpal Singh Yadav hit out at the BJP Sunday, saying the saffron party had "weakened" the country and it wanted to "instigate riots" for political gains in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.

Addressing the 'Jan Aakrosh Rally' here, the first such event by the PSPL after its formation this October, Shivpal Yadav said, "The BJP has weakened the country. We will oust the BJP from power at the Centre and in Uttar Pradesh... We want peace and brotherhood, the communal people want to instigate riots."
Continuing with his attack on the ruling party, Shivpal Yadav said, "The then BJP government (in UP) had submitted an affidavit assuring security (of the Babri mosque). But, despite the affidavit, the Babri mosque was demolished. They want to spread the same fire in the country."
Aparna Yadav, who shared the stage with Shivpal Yadav, had said, "I have always respected chachaji and Netaji (Mulayam)."
