Amit Shah says the RLD chief won’t benefit from his tie-up with the SP

He claimed that as such the SP is not going to form the government in UP but in case it does, then the RLD chief would be pushed out 'on the third day'

BJP leader Amit Shah on Thursday cautioned Rashtriya Lok Dal president Jayant Chaudhary over his party’s tie-up with Samajwadi Party, saying Akhilesh Yadav does not even listen to his father and uncle then how would he listen to him. Addressing a poll event in Anupshahr assembly constituency in Bulandshahr district of western UP, the Union Home Minister also claimed that the SP will not be able to form government in Uttar Pradesh.

“He does not meet people, does only press conferences and has our Jayant ji by his side. Sarkar warkar to banni nahi hai ye samajh kar chalna… but Jayant Chaudhary thinks if the government is formed, Akhilesh babu would listen to him. Jayant babu, it’s a fallacy. Someone who does not listen to his own father and uncle, how would he listen to you,” Shah said.

He claimed that as such the SP is not going to form the government in UP but in case it does, then the RLD chief would be pushed out “on the third day” only and Azam Khan, the jailed SP leader, would replace him. The senior BJP leader hit out at previous SP, BSP governments over procurement of crops by the state, and said the situation has changed under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s regime. Agencies
