BJP leaders welcome sacking of Rajbhar from Uttar Pradesh Cabinet

Lucknow, May 20(UNI) Senior BJP leaders in Uttar Pradesh have supported the move of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath sacking his Cabinet colleague and Suheldeo Bharatiya Samaj Party(SBSP) president Om Prakash Rajbhar on Monday.

In a statement here, Deputy CM Keshav Prasad Maurya said Rajbhar is not a leader of the backwards but instead he is just a leader of his family. 'Rajbhar only took benefits for his family and did drama for the backward community. The entire backwards were with Narendra Modi in the elections," he said.

Mr Maurya said, 'Though the action should have been taken earlier but still, it is an appropriate time to show the real face of Rajbar before the people.'

Meanwhile, UP BJP president Dr Mahendra Nath Pandey said his party always honoured and respected smaller parties. But the SBSP president violated all norms of coalition dharma forcing the CM to take such a harsh decision.

Welcoming the decision of Yogi Adityanath to sack Rajbhar, Dr Pandey said even after being a minister, Rajbhar continued to give statements against the government and violated the Constitutional norms.

"BJP had given all respect to Rajbhar after being inducted in the cabinet in March 2017, but he demanded more facilities for his family members," he said.
