Lucknow: Voices of dissent against Bahujan Samaj Party President Mayawati have started emerging from the Samajwadi Party after the BSP snapped its alliance with the SP on Tuesday.
Senior party MP Ram Gopal Yadav said that the Samajwadi Party was bigger party than the BSP and if the Yadav community had not voted for BSP candidates, the party's tally would have been around four to five seats. Ram Gopal Yadav said that Mayawati had been wrongly informed by her candidates that Yadavs did not vote for them.
"I went around the state during the elections and nowhere did anyone complain about this. I have seen SP workers campaigning for BSP candidates and vice versa. There it is wrong to allege that BSP did not get SP votes," he said.
Aparna Yadav, younger daughter-in-law of Mulayam Singh Yadav, said that she was "pained" to hear the statements of Mayawati.
