Former BSP leader in Uttar Pradesh Assembly Swami Prasad Maurya on Friday held a meeting of his supporters and hinted at floating a new political outfit soon. Maurya had last week quit the BSP charging Mayawati with auctioning tickets for the elections.
Claiming the support of over 10 sitting BSP MLAs, he said they were in touch with him and will come out in the open at an opportune time. At the meeting, 25 to 30 former MLAs, MPs and ministers who had either quit or been expelled by BSP, were present on the dais.
Addressing them, Maurya was equally critical of both the Samajwadi Party and BJP. “We will present an alternative before the people of the state,” he said.
Launching a sharp attack on BSP chief Mayawati, he said there will be a full-scale war. Maurya took a dig at Mayawati saying she had the wrong impression that only she could fill up the biggest rally ground in the state capital –Ramabai Ambedkar Maidan.
