While speaking to the media, Ram said that the BSP was fast losing its relevance because of its casteist approach. “Dalit icon B.R. Ambedkar and BSP founder Kanshi Ram used to say that a party can help the poor and downtrodden only when it is in power. The BSP did not follow this when it was in power,” he added.
Tribhuvan got an extension twice as the PWD engineer during the BSP government.
The two rebel BSP leaders said that they were impressed with the pro-poor policies of the Narendra Modi government at the centre and Yogi Adityanath’s administration in the state.
The Uttar Pradesh BJP chief Swatantra Dev Singh welcomed the two leaders and said that they will strengthen the party and take it forward. “We hope that they would continue to work for the poor and downtrodden,” he added.
