Expelled Samajwadi Party MLA Rampal Yadav on Sunday claimed he is facing “life threats” from some persons in the State government as his security has been withdrawn.

“My official security as an MLA has been withdrawn. There are some persons in the government, who are conspiring against me and I have life threats from them”, Mr. Yadav told reporters here.

The MLA’s illegal complex and hotel was recently demolished in Lucknow and Sitapur district. He alleged the demolition was “not justified” and it was only done to personally “damage” him.

Praises Mulayam

Praising SP supremo Mulayam Singh, he said that in the Mulayam’s regime decisions were taken on merit of any issue.

He alleged there is “nepotism” prevailing in the party and Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav is playing the role of a Mahabharat character, “Duryodhan“.

Seeking to know his fault from the party, he claimed that after getting an assurance from the party, he fielded his son for the district Panchayat Chairman post, who also won but it was not taken well by the party.

“After spending 25 years in the party, I have been left nowhere. Now my family will celebrate Diwali on the ouster of SP government,” Mr. Yadav, MLA from Biswan constituency of Sitapur district said. Meanwhile, the party condemned the statement Rampal Yadav termed it as an act of “frustration”.-PTI
