The BJP's Sanghamitra Maurya, who campaigned for her father Swami Prasad Maurya - a Samajwadi Party candidate - in the Uttar Pradesh polls, has defended her decision to back her father in the election. The decision to back her father was taken after he was "attacked" by BJP workers, Sanghamitra Maurya said, asserting that she will remain in the BJP.
"I am saying again that I was and will remain in BJP. My father was attacked so I came forward. I did not speak against the BJP, but its workers who riot. How can a daughter keep quiet when her father is attacked," Sanghamitra Maurya, who is the BJP's first-time MP from Budaun, told NDTV.
