Shivpal meets Rajbhar
Pragatisheel Samajwadi Party (Lohia) supremo Shivpal Singh Yadav met Suheldeo Bhartiya Samaj Party chief Om Prakash Rajbhar on Thursday, giving an indication that the two outfits could forge an alliance in the 2022 assembly polls in Uttar Pradesh.
The two leaders were closeted for about an hour and discussed various issues. They later admitted that it would be better for smaller parties to forge an alliance to contest the assembly polls.
Speaking to media persons after the meeting, Rajbhar said that he had a successful meeting with the PSPL chief and he was ready to join the Bhagidari Sankalp Morcha mooted by him.
“When a Union government can be formed in alliance with 38 political parties, why should 50 parties not contest the polls jointly,” he said.
Shivpal Yadav said that his effort would be to unite the backwards and the move made by Rajbhar was appreciative.
“We have to join hands so that the fight for the backwards can be taken to a conclusive end,” he stated.
Earlier, Rajbhar had spoken to Bhim Army chief Chandrashekhar Azad, Apna Dal’s Krishna Patel and other smaller backward leaders of the state to form a platform for the 2022 UP assembly polls.
