Ex-CM comments in view of the recent defections of BJP Ministers in U.P., Goa
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is now getting paid back in the same coin in Uttar Pradesh and Goa for the defections that it had engineered in other political parties in several States, former Chief Minister V. Narayanasamy said in a virtual statement on Friday.
“The BJP has engineered defections in several parties to topple the Opposition. In February last year, Prime Minister and Union Home Minister made Ministers and legislators resign from the Congress government in Puducherry by threatening them with law enforcement agencies.
They were made to contest on BJP ticket. They did the same machinations in other States. Now, they are paid back in the same coin in U.P. and Goa. Several of their Ministers have quit and joined other parties,” Mr. Narayanasamy said.
