SP ally OP Rajbhar says waiting for Akhilesh to give me divorce

TIL Desk/National/Lucknow/ Amid growing discontent in the opposition camp, Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party chief Om Prakash Rajbhar has said he was waiting for talaq (divorce) from the Akhilesh Yadav side. Rajbhar, however, said he will not initiate any step to break ties with the Samajwadi Party.

“I will not initiate any step to end the alliance with the SP. I will wait to be divorced by Akhilesh Yadav,” Rajbhar told before leaving for his party meeting in the neighbouring Mau district. Rajbhar also said he is “still with the Samajwadi Party, but will not remain together forcefully if Akhilesh Yadav doesn’t want it.”

The immediate flashpoint in their strained relationship is the SP supremo not inviting ally Rajbhar for a meeting called in Lucknow in support of the opposition Presidential candidate Yashwant Sinha on Thursday. On the other hand Jayant Chaudhary, chief of the SP’s another alliance partner Rashtriya Lok Dal, was seen with Akhilesh.

“Akhilesh Yadav might have forgotten about me, so he didn’t call me,” the SBSP chief quipped. In Mau, the SBSP members held a meeting at Hindi Bhawan. Addressing the meeting, Rajbhar sought a reason from Yadav for not inviting him for the Thursday meeting.
