Keshav said that he is breaking his ties with SP because he did not get respect there. Due to the continuous neglect there, they have decided to support the BJP led NDA alliance.
He said that SP National President Akhilesh Yadav never made me sit next to him in the press conference. See here, BJP State President Bhupendra Singh Chaudhary is giving a press conference with me sitting next to him.
Keshav said, “I express my heartfelt gratitude to the great team for honoring me.”
He appealed to all the workers of his party to work together to make the NDA candidates victorious.
The state president of BJP said that he expresses his gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for joining his development journey and supporting NDA. Mahan Dal has influence on the backward castes like Maurya, Shakya, Kushwaha, Saini etc. These backward castes are about six percent in UP.
