Party chief says BJP has failed to keep its promise
The Nishad Party, an Other Backward Class (OBC)-based ally of the ruling BJP in Uttar Pradesh, has demanded a larger share in power ahead of the 2022 Assembly poll, even showing interest in the Deputy Chief Minister post. Nishad Party president Sanjay Nishad, self-proclaimed ‘political godfather of fishermen,’ has said the BJP failed to fulfil the promises made by it in 2019, when the Nishad Party dumped the SP-BSP alliance and switched over.More Related News
