“I have taken him in the party and he will be given full respect in the BSP at all levels, much more than he was getting in the SP. The party will field him from his old seat in Ballia in the Assembly polls,” Mayawati said.
Chaudhary said he has resigned from all posts in the Samajwadi Party.
Referring to the infighting in Mulayam Singh Yadav’s clan, he said, “It was not merely an internal matter of a particular party at the time of elections. This political party is in power and has the responsibility to check BJP from coming to power.”
But, he said, “the manner in which these developments came to an end… before the Election Commission on January 16 only proved that the intention of the tussle was something other than shielding the secular movement and the downtrodden”.
