Senior SP leader and former minister Narad Rai said at a lodge in Khoripakar, Ballia, that those who chant Jai Shri Ram have now resolved to lock the cycle. It is not possible that I will chant Jai Shri Ram and also remain in SP. These words of Narad Rai are nothing new. Let us tell you that Narad Rai has also met Union Home Minister Amit Shah in a hotel in Kashi. It is being said that Narad Rai will join BJP in Home Minister Amit Shah’s rally in Ballia on May 29.
The fact that Narad Rai’s name was not taken from the stage in the public meeting of SP supremo Akhilesh Yadav, who came to the district last Sunday, confirmed that there was going to be some major upheaval in the SP camp in the district.
For the last 15 days, there was a discussion in the district that a big leader of SP is going to change sides and join BJP. But speculations were still going on about this. The fact that the name of former minister Narad Rai was not taken from the stage in the public meeting of SP candidate held in Kataria of Ballia Lok Sabha seat on Sunday gave more air to this issue.
After Akhilesh Yadav’s public meeting, Narad Rai had said that after the insult in Katariya, SP candidate Sanatan Pandey did not even express regret. I will respect the decision taken by you people in my honour today. In response to the question of journalists, he also said that Akhilesh Yadav fought to get Janeshwar Mishra bridge, university, Lohia market, sports college in Ballia.
Jai Shri Ram and riding a bicycle cannot happen together. In such a situation, the possibility of Union Home Minister Amit Shah joining the BJP in his public meeting to be held in Haibatpur on May 29 has become strong. In such a situation, SP candidate Sanatan Pandey may have to suffer a lot in the election.
