Madhu Pandey, who was also a member of the party's state executive, today said that Yadav used to make "indecent remarks during phone calls and demanded supply of girls".
Pandey, who also released a taped phone call with Yadav before the media recorded by her in October last year, said that in the conversation he (Yadav) has asked her to bring young girls with her to Lucknow for a party meeting.

Meanwhile, Yadav who is also the district unit president of SP, when contacted, termed the charges levelled by Pandey as "baseless" and said that he would put his point before the party.
Pandey claimed that Yadav had once slapped her after an an altercation over an issue.
Pandey alleged that as she failed to fulfil the demands of Yadav, he got her expelled from the party last month.

The expelled SP leader said she has also made a complaint to the district magistrate apprehending threat to her life from Yadav and demanded security and a probe into the matter.
Pandey claimed that she would sit on a fast from tomorrow if her demand was not met.

District Magistrate S Ramlingam said the issue has been brought to his notice and he is looking into it.
