BSP suspends Anil Singh for cross-voting in Rajya Sabha polls
Lucknow, Mar 24 (IBNS): The Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) on Saturday suspended lawmaker Anil Singh for cross-voting in favour of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the Rajya Sabha polls in Uttar Pradesh, media reports said.
BSP chief Mayawati has said the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) tried to break the newly formed alliance between her party and Akhilesh Yadav's Samajwadi Party (SP).
Extending support to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Singh had told media, "I am with Maharaj ji".
Mayawati accused the BJP of creating an atmosphere of terror.
"Everyone knows BJP's misuse of power. They even established an atmosphere of terror," she said.
Beating the Samajwadi Party (SP) and practically decimating the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won nine out of 10 seats in the Rajya Sabha elections.
BJP chief Amit Shah has beaten Mayawati and Akhilesh Yadav in the prestige battle for the Upper House seat.
This has come as a big boon for the ruling BJP.
In another crucial win, Anil Agarwal, who was BJP’s ninth candidate, defeated BSP’s Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar.
Actress Jaya Bachchan won the single seat for SP.
