BJP: Attack on Daya's kin sanctioned by BSP chief

NEW DELHI: BJP on Sunday said the foul language used by BSP workers and functionaries like Naseemuddin Siddiqui against Dayashankar Singh's family was more condemnable than their sacked party member's act of indiscretion.

"During the demonstration in Lucknow, BSP workers and senior leaders had used filthy words against Dayashankar's family, including his 12-year-old daughter. We strongly feel that the act of BSP workers was at the behest of Mayawati herself, who is still not apologetic about the insult meted out to women, including a minor girl," BJP spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi said at a press conference in the national capital.

The ruling party said while Dayashankar was hiding, fearing for life, and police were conducting raids to locate him, BSP functionaries booked on charges of more serious offences were roaming free and there seemed no attempt to arrest them.

Trivedi said what BSP workers and Siddiqui did seemed the structured party view whereas Dayashankar's indiscretion was an impulsive statement for which BJP took prompt action and expelled him for six years.

"Our senior party leaders, including Arun Jaitley and state president Keshav Prasad Maurya tendered unconditional apology. Not a single leader came in support of Dayashankar, who was taken to task for what he did. However, there is no action against BSP workers," Trivedi said.

"BSP has a different interpretation of law for their party leader and has another view for other women. Mayawati must answer why she has not taken action against her party leaders," Trivedi said. He demanded immediate arrest of Siddiqui and Mayawati's apology to Dayashankar's family .

Earlier in Lucknow, Mayawati had alleged that Dayashankar's indiscretion was a BJP ploy in collusion with the ruling Samajwadi Party .

BJP takes on ruling party, says must introspect

NEW DELHI: BJP on Sunday accused AAP of insensitivity towards human suffering as demonstrations by the party against arrest of their MLA Amanatullah Khan brought the city to a standstill.

"Even patients were not spared by agitating AAP workers, who blocked several roads causing jams and other problems across the city," BJP spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi told reporters.

He said AAP should introspect about their conduct, which was "immature" and showed no respect for the law of the land. "They (AAP) keep claiming about transparency and wisdom but they stand exposed on the issue of probity," Trivedi said, adding its leadership was totally "incompetent".

"As far as probity in public life is concerned, you have seen that so many MLAs are now being accused and charge-sheeted on various criminal charges. There has been a series of events which gradually exposed the true face of their so called probity.

"Now, as far as their concern for common man is concerned, today's incident has made it very clear that they are totally insensitive and just for the sake of political mileage and vendetta, they are trying to put the common man in problem," Trivedi said.

Leader of the opposition in Delhi assembly, Vijender Gupta, said the incident shows AAP's attitude towards women. "Instead of taking strict action against his party members and legislators who are abusing women, Kejriwal has rejected the charges. He has blamed the Prime Minister for the arrest. This clearly shows party's attitude towards women," Gupta said.

BJP chief Satish Upadhyay said, "The arrest of Amanatullah Khan adds one more face to the Arvind Kejriwal's notorious team of woman bashers. He should have been arrested long back for spreading communal disharmony and for his hate speech during a Urdu Academy function earlier this year."

AAP Leadership Incompetent, Stands Exposed: BJP After Amanatullah Khan's Arrest

New Delhi: After the arrest of another AAP legislator, BJP today said the party stood "exposed" on the issue of probity, accused it of being "insensitive" towards common people with its workers blocking roads causing inconvenience and termed its leadership as "incompetent".

"As far as probity in public life is concerned, you have seen that so many legislators are now being accused and charge-sheeted on various criminal charges. There has been a series of events which gradually exposed the true face of their so called probity.

Now, as far as their concern for common man is concerned, today's incident has made it very clear that they are totally insensitive and just for the sake of political mileage and vendetta, they are trying to put the common man in problem," BJP spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi told reporters.

AAP legislator Amanatullah Khan was today arrested after a woman alleged that he tried to mow her down when she visited his residence to raise the issue of power cuts, making him the tenth party legislator to be arrested.

Addressing a press conference, Mr Trivedi said during the dharna staged by AAP workers after the arrest, they blocked roads and made the common people suffer.

"Some of them had serious problems and trying to go to hospitals and they were requesting AAP workers to give them way, but unfortunately it was not done and this shows the level of insensitivity that AAP is having towards the aam aadmi," he said.

Mr Trivedi said, "AAP had two self-proclaimed causes of which they consider themselves as champion. One is probity in public life and the other their concern for common man."

Mr Trivedi said AAP workers were dissatisfied and the party leadership was incompetent both in terns of governance and controlling the party.

Mr Trivedi said there is an established procedure of law and protests in the event of an arrest "means you are not having faith in law and neither you are sensitive to the common man".

The BJP leader also attacked BSP for inaction against the workers who used abusive language against expelled party leader Dayashankar Singh's family and said it was done as part of a "well though-out strategy".

"There is a distinct difference between what happened on the part of BJP and what happened on the part of BSP. One of our former state vice presidents Dayashankar Singh had said something in his private capacity which party totally denounced and condemned.

Though he himself tendered an unconditional apology, our party considered his action unpardonable. Our state president tendered an apology and our leader in the Rajya Sabha and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley tendered apology and we have expelled him from the party," he said.

On the contrary, whatever BSP has done is a well-planned agitation under the guidance of their top leadership, he said.

BJP plays down buzz over projecting Rajnath Singh as CM face for UP

Playing down all speculations over projecting Home Minister Rajnath Singh as the face of the BJP in Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, the party said on Friday that the party ranks were full of capable leaders.

There has been a lot of buzz over the chief ministerial candidate for the crucial polls and Singh, the last BJP chief minister in Uttar Pradesh, is being seen as a “natural” face by many due to his experience. The top party leaders, however, have maintained a studied silence over the issue.

Party spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi told at a press conference, “We have many capable leaders,” parrying questions over the issue.

“Whenever a decision is taken, parliamentary board will convey it to you,” he said.

The party’s comments came on a day when Singh also insisted that there is no dearth of capable people in the party as he chose to downplay talks about him.

“UP mein kabil chehron ke koi kami nahi hai (There is no dearth of capable faces in UP),” he said in Lucknow when asked about BJP’s chief ministerial candidate for the 2017 Assembly polls.

Singh in the past has said he was not keen on returning to state politics. However, it is almost certain that he will play a prominent role during the campaign.

Party President Amit Shah had recently said that the BJP was yet to decide whether a chief ministerial candidate should be projected or not.

Trivedi, though, pointed out that Singh after Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Shah had campaigned most in Assam and Bihar polls as well.

Though its success in Assam has fuelled talks within the party that the formula of projecting a face will be repeated in Uttar Pradesh too, the lack of a candidate with appeal across the country’s most populous state can be a hindrance.

A BJP leader also pointed out that it has done poorly in the last three polls despite projecting a CM pick, Singh in 2002, Kalyan Singh in 2007 and Uma Bharti in 2012.

Bharti was not officially announced as a candidate and was part of a quartet, including Singh, Kalraj Mishra and Surya Pratap Shahi. But her OBC credentials and the party’s decision to task her with reviving the party in the state had created the impression of she being in charge of its campaign.

Many believe that the party needs to project a leader to counter Mulayam Singh Yadav-led SP and Mayawati-led BSP, two leaders with wide appeal.
