BJP condemns Mulayam over ‘false campaign’ statement, calls it his ‘innate psyche’
Outrightly condemning Mulayam Singh Yadav’s meeting with rape accused and former Uttar Pradesh minister Gayatri Prajapati at the Lucknow District Jail and assertion of a ‘false campaign’ being carried out against him, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Wednesday said that it was unfortunate that a senior leader like the former was making such comments, while also adding that it was the innate psyche of the Samajwadi Party chief to stir hornet’s nest one way or the other.
“Mulayam Singh Yadav supporting Prajapati is condemnable. But we shouldn’t forget this is the same Mulayam Singh Yadav who once said, ‘Boys make mistakes!’ He and the Samajwadi Party supporting criminals, corrupt officials and other anti-social elements is not new at all,” BJP leader Sudhanshu Trivedi said.
