 The
Uttar Pradesh chief minister Rajnath Singh on the Samajwadi Party resignations
Q. What is your reaction to the mass resignation
by the Samajwadi Party MLAs?
A. It's a political gimmick which won't appeal to the people.
Mulayam Singh Yadav is bent upon stalling MBC reservations.
Q. Do you feel you are under political and moral pressure?
A. We
are not at all under any kind of political pressure. Ab to chunav March
mein hi honge (Now the elections will be held in March). As far as
moral pressure is concerned, we do not need to take moral lessons from
Mulayam.
Q. What was your strategy?
A.
Our strategy was leaked to the Samajwadi Party. We had decided to ask
our MLAs to shun their salaries and perks from October 17, the day this
Assembly completes five years.
Q. Now what will you do?
A. Run
the government more effectively. I am getting good response at public
meetings. The MBC system will provide justice to the downtrodden classes
in the reserved categories.
Q. But if everything is all right, why have
you been summoned by the prime minister?
A.
We keep meeting our seniors to review the political situation.
