Swami Prasad Maurya: Many big BJP leaders got calls, but I.P.

Sandeep Tiwari, Lucknow: Swami Prasad Maurya, a former minister in the BJP government and recently joined the Samajwadi Party, had an exclusive interview with NBT Online on Sunday. Meanwhile, he has leveled serious allegations against the Bharatiya Janata Party. Swami Prasad said that BJP has swallowed the reserves of Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Backward Classes like a python. He also said that after leaving the BJP, many leaders got calls, but I did not pick up anyone’s phone. This time the BJP is going to be clean and the SP is going to form a government with an absolute majority.

‘Agriculture bill withdrawn for fear of losing support’
Swami Prasad said that BJP has broken its promise to the people. He gave the slogan that all development and work has gone against it. The BJP, which violates the constitution, has withdrawn the new agriculture law for fear of losing its base in the elections. Farmers were cheated in this government. BJP talks of Kisan Sanman Nidhi, but leaves behind 10 times more crops of farmers than cattle. At the same time, on the question of joining BJP in 2017, he said that it was just a coincidence.

These leaders joined the SP
Swami Prasad Maurya joined the SP on January 14. He was accompanied by former minister Dharam Singh Saini, MLA Bhagwati Sagar of Bilhaur, MLA Roshanlal Verma of Shahjahanpur, MLA of Shikohabad, Firozabad Dr. Mukesh Verma, Banda MLA Brijesh Kumar Prajapati and Siddharthnagar MLAs Chaudhary Amar Singh and Vinay Shakya.
