Thackeray has agreed to contest the BMC elections along with the Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party.

Baliya:

Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party national president Om Prakash Rajbhar said on Wednesday that he will contest the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) elections in Maharashtra along with the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena.

Rajbhar told PTI on Wednesday that he had met Shiv Sena leader Uddhav Thackeray in Mumbai two days ago.

He said that this one-and-a-half-hour meeting was positive in which he discussed with Thackeray about the upcoming BMC elections in Maharashtra.

He claimed that Thackeray has agreed to fight the BMC elections with the Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party.

Asked whether he would forge an alliance with Thackeray's Shiv Sena in Uttar Pradesh for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, Rajbhar said the Shiv Sena does not have a base in Uttar Pradesh.

Regarding the controversy over Ramcharitmanas, Rajbhar said that the Samajwadi Party will not gain anything from this controversy.

He said, “SP will not get anything through Swami Prasad Maurya.

Maurya is not a mass base leader.

If he was a mass leader, he would not have lost the assembly elections.

He does not have to enter the House through the back door of the Legislative Council.

It is noteworthy that SP leader Maurya had recently allegedly said that in some couplets of Ramcharitmanas, a large section of the society has been 'insulted' on the basis of caste and should be 'banned'.

Rajbhar said that the Samajwadi Party, which disregarded the interests of backward classes and reservation in promotion during its reign, will not get the support of other backward classes.
