Min to SP: Fight for Krishna Janmabhoomi | Lucknow News

Bareilly: Nishad Party chief and UP cabinet minister Sanjay Nishad on Thursday hit out at Akhilesh Yadav, saying he should raise his voice for Krishna Janmabhoomi.“If Akhilesh Yadav calls himself a Yadav and claims to be a descendant of Lord Krishna, then he should also raise his voice for the liberation of Krishna Janmabhoomi, just as there was a struggle for the Ram Janmabhoomi in Ayodhya. If he cannot protect his own tradition, how will he protect others?, he said.On the issue of alliances, Nishad reaffirmed his party’s support for the NDA, saying, “We have been with the NDA since Treta Yug. The friendship between Lord Ram and Nishad Raj is the root of our ideology. We are with the NDA and will remain with it.”Criticising the previous SP and BSP govts, he said, “Govts (by SP and BSP) were formed four times, but nothing concrete was done for the backward classes. Neither an education commission was formed nor real steps were taken. The double-engine govt has, for the first time, charted a path for inclusive development.”Attacking the opposition further, Nishad said, “The SP only seeks votes of the backward classes but works against their interests.” PTI
