Rajbhar who was highly irked at the allotment of bungalow vacated by Mayawati to Shivpal yadav, said that he has been demanding a bungalow since March 2017 but instead of him, Shivpal Yadav was allotted the bungalow. I had been asking for a government bungalow for office since March 2017 but don't know why they were afraid of granting me one...Yesterday, a decision was taken to allot the bungalow vacated by Mayawati to Shivpalji for his party," Rajbhar, news agency PTI quoted the cabinet minister for Department of Backward Classes Welfare as saying. Using a derogatory term for the entire community, Rajbhar expressed his anger at the present state government.
