SP compromised, BSP traded Dalit votes: UP min

Uttar Pradesh Health Minister Sidharth Nath Singh today hit out at the alliance between the Samajwadi Party and Bahujan Samaj Party for the upcoming two parliamentary bypolls, indicating that both the parties are doing injustice to their workers.
"Those who are weak take support of others. SP was weak, so it compromised, and BSP traded the Dalit votes for a Rajya Sabha seat. Both SP and BSP are not doing justice with their party workers," Singh said here, while addressing a meet of doctors and other eminent people of the city.
On the recent Assembly elections in the north-east, the Bharatiya Janata Party leader said, "The electoral results of Tripura, Meghalaya and Nagaland are evidence of BJP's popularity among the people. Due to the clear policies, the acceptability of BJP has not only increased in India, but also in the world."

"The nationalist workers of BJP have ousted the divisive forces and the win in the north-east is the victory of Bhartiyata (Indian-ness)," he said.
'Bhartiyata' comes on the top for BJP and the Modi government at the Centre, the health minister said, claiming that with a "strong feeling" of nationalism, all problems could be "easily resolved".
"Those who see India with an evil eye will keep on getting a befitting reply, and no one should have a doubt about it," the Allahabad West MLA added.
Later, while speaking in Chitragupta temple here, Singh, who is also the grandson of late prime minister Lal Bahadur Shastri, said: "My grandfather died in Tashkent (Uzbekistan) and the death was natural. Sometime later, I will tell the history of his death."

Speaking about the Kayastha community, he said they have always been "nationalist" and the BJP will give them their "political right".
