New Delhi, 2nd March. Former UP Minister Swami Prasad Maurya on Tuesday alleged that his convoy was attacked during electioneering “by BJP workers”. Maurya is contesting from Fazilnagar as Samajwadi Party (SP) candidate.
Maurya while talking to the media said, “Due to security reasons, I sat in a different car while travelling for the campaign in Kushinagar. BJP workers were sitting with sticks, stones and guns there. They attacked my car. Such incidences are taking place under the patronage of BJP,” he alleged.
Maurya’s daughter Sanghmitra Maurya, who is a Bharatiya Janata Party MP, also blamed the party workers for the incident.
“It can be seen how cars were vandalised and people were injured. BJP talks about peace, today its candidate attacked my father. While being en route to meet him after the attack, BJP workers surrounded my convoy,” Sanghmitra alleged.
SP president Akhilesh Yadav condemned the alleged attack on Maurya.
Akhilesh said that they will counter this by reducing the Bharatiya Janata Party to “zero” in the next phase of the assembly elections.
