Press Trust of India

Barabanki: Union Steel Minister Beni Prasad Verma on Monday attacked Samajawadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav alleging he had not only joined hands with former BJP leader Kalyan Singh but also did not ensure that people from minority community were recruited in the state police during the SP government.

"Mulayam Singh Yadav talks about the welfare of Muslims but when thousands of youths were being recruited in the state police during the Samajwadi Party government they were not given jobs", Verma told newspersons in Barabanki.

He said Yadav had also joined hands with the main accused in Babri Mosque demolition case Kalyan Singh and went to Etah to campaign for him ... how can such a man be pro-Muslim"? Verma said.

To a question on Yadav announcing that free eduation, medicine and irrigation would be provided if SP is voted to power in UP, Verma retorted that Yadav had been chief minister thrice but did nothing in this regard.. what would he do now?

Accusing BSP and SP of indulging in caste politics, he said people of the state would teach them a lesson and claimed SP nominees would lose their deposits this time.
