Like Modi, Yogi too faces dissent from ally in UP, minister criticises BJP for focusing on temples
On Monday, when the Yogi Adityanath government completed one year in power in Uttar Pradesh, the BJP faced serious criticism from its alliance partner, the Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party (SBSP).
Lucknow, March 19: If on the one hand, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is facing the wrath of its alliance partners at the Centre, on the other, the saffron party is witnessing dissent by one of its allies in Uttar Pradesh. The BJP with its alliance partners are running coalition governments both at the Centre and in Uttar Pradesh.
On
Monday,
when
the
Yogi
Adityanath
government
completed
one
year
in
power
in
Uttar
Pradesh,
the
BJP
faced
serious
criticism
from
its
alliance
partner,
the
Suheldev
Bharatiya
Samaj
Party
(SBSP).
OP
Rajbhar,
chief
of
the
SBSP
and
Uttar
Pradesh
minister,
slammed
the
BJP
for
focusing
on
temples
and
ignoring
the
plight
of
the
poor.
"The
Uttar
Pradesh
government
is
just
focused
on
temples,
and
not
on
the
welfare
of
the
poor.
It
is
the
same
poor
who
voted
the
government
to
power.
There
is
a
lot
of
talk
but
little
change
on
the
ground," Rajbhar
was
quoted
as
saying
by
ANI.

Rajbhar alleged the BJP was not following the coalition dharma, charge which sound similar to that of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) which left the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government at the Centre recently over giving special status category to Andhra Pradesh. The BJP is leading the NDA government at the Centre.
"Yes, we are a part of the Uttar Pradesh government and the NDA, but the BJP is not following the coalition dharma. I have been expressing my concerns, but they (the BJP) have lost their mind as they have 325 seats in the 403-member Assembly in the state," the SBSP chief added.
Yes we are part of the Govt and of NDA but BJP is not following coalition dharma, I have been expressing my concerns, lekin ye log 325 seats ke nashe mein pagal ho kar ghoom rahe hain: OP Rajbhar,Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party Chief and UP Minister pic.twitter.com/ULkDtifo3z

In the 2017 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, the BJP won 312 seats on its own. The rest 13 belongs to its alliance partners. The BJP can easily run the government in Uttar Pradesh without any alliance partner, but the recent defeats in the two Lok Sabha bypolls in Gorakhpur and Phulpur indicate that the saffron party's popularity is waning in its own bastion.
