HM Rajnath Singh: BSP, SP resorting to 'desperate' measures to come to power
"Out of desperation, the BSP has gone to the limit of appealing for votes on a communal basis," Rajnath Singh said.
Lucknow/ 10 February 2017. Lashing out at both of the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) political rivals in the upcoming Uttar Pradesh elections Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Friday dubbed the Samajwadi Party and Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) as parties resorting to 'desperate' measures to come to power.
"Out of desperation, the BSP has gone to the limit of appealing for votes on a communal basis," Rajnath Singh said.
"It was the desperation of the SP which made it get into an alliance with the Congress. The SP has accepted that it is now weak. That is why it allied with a party like the Congress," he added.
Drawing a mathematical analogy, Singh said the SP-Congress alliance will be considered as null only because adding two minuses leads to a minus only.
