Days after all six legislators of the BSP joined the ruling Congress in Rajasthan, the Mayawati-led party\u2019s two MLAs in Madhya Pradesh have asserted that they will remain loyal to their party chief and not switch sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The two Bahujan Samaj Party MLAs Sanjeev Singh Kushwaha and Rambai Singh are supporting the Congress government in Madhya Pradesh, where the ruling party has a wafer-thin majority in the 230-member Assembly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Monday, the BSP had a major setback when all its six MLAs in Rajasthan wrote to Assembly Speaker CP Joshi to merge the legislature party with the Congress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, the BSP MLAs in MP on Wednesday assured that they were not going to quit the party.Kushwaha and Singh told PTI that they are with their party leader Mayawati and would remain with her in future too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Asked whether he might also change loyalty like the BSP MLAs in Rajasthan, Kushwaha said if he wanted to join the Congress, he would do it with pomp and show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere is nothing like that now. Nor I am going to join in future,\u201d he asserted.On whether any directive has come to them from the party chief after the Rajasthan episode, Kushwaha said, \u201cMayawatiji hasn\u2019t told us anything. I am with the party.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Asked if he and Singh had sought Cabinet berth in the past in MP, Kushwaha replied in the negative.\u201cI am with Mayawatiji and will remain with her. We are powerful in MP because of Mayawatiji. I won the election on the BSP ticket and will remain loyal to it,\u201d Singh said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
