SP, BSP toy of UPA Govt : BJP

LUCKNOW, Dec 9: The BJP today alleged that the Samajwadi Party and the Bahujan Samaj Party has become a ‘toy’ of the Congress-led UPA government at the Centre and both the parties are supporting the US on the FDI in retail which will have a negative impact on the poor Muslims of the country.

BJP national spokesperson Shanawaj Hussain here said that both the SP and the BSP had been exposed in Parliament during the FDI issue and now they have come on open to support the US based Walmart and other companies as dictated by the Congress.

Addressing a news conference here, Mr Hussain, who is the  MP from Bhagalpur in Bihar, said that though it would be hard to implement the FDI in retail with such opposition, but still two major political parties in Uttar Pradesh have ditched the common people particularly the Muslims by joining hands with the US.

“ It would be the second time that SP has come in favour  of the US after saving the UPA government on the nuclear deal in 2008,” he stated. Now both the UP parties are more reliable Congress and US supporter at the Centre in place of DMK or NCP, he stated.

“ Everyone knows that FDI in retail would be disastrous  for the poor muslims of the country but still the SP and the BSP even after opposing it, supported the proposal for its own vested interest,” he alleged.

Announcing that the BJP would not allow the FDI in retail  in the country at any cost, he said that the party would go before the people on the issue.

“ Both the SP and the BSP have failed to follow the  political ethics and even after opposing it had supported the UPA government,’ he said while adding that now people will teach them a lesson in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections. (UNI)
