'Free To Go...': Samajwadi Party's Ultimatum To Shivpal Yadav, OP Rajbhar After They Backed Droupadi Murmu
The letter comes just days after Shivpal Yadav and Rajbhar were seen at a dinner party hosted by Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath for Droupadi Murmu ahead of the presidential elections.
New Delhi: The Samajwadi Party on Saturday wrote to Pragatisheel Samajwadi party chief Shivpal Singh Yadav and SBSP chief OP Rajbhar saying that they were free to go anywhere they think they would get more respect. The letter comes just days after Akhilesh Yadav’s uncle Shivpal Singh Yadav and Rajbhar were seen at a dinner party hosted by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for Droupadi Murmu ahead of the presidential elections.
In the letter shared by the Samajwadi Party on its official Twitter handle, the party said, “Shivpal Yadav ji, if you think you’ll get more respect somewhere else, you are free to leave.”

In another tweet, SP said, “Om Prakash Rajbhar ji, Samajwadi Party has been constantly fighting against the BJP. You are allied with the BJP and working to strengthen the party. If you think you’ll get more respect elsewhere, you are free to leave.”

Welcoming the ‘snapping of ties’, Rajbhar, as quoted by news agency ANI said, “Today they (SP) have given divorce and we've accepted that. Next step is BSP. When I meet CM Yogi Adityanath it's bad for them but it's good if Akhilesh Yadav meets CM. Everything will be clear by 2024. We fight for Dalits and backwards and will continue to do so.”

Meanwhile, in the wake of the letter, Shivpal Yadav took to his Twitter handle and wrote in Hindi, “Although I was always free, but I sincerely thank you for giving me formal independence by issuing a letter by the Samajwadi Party. Compromising on principles and respect is unacceptable in a political journey.”
मैं वैसे तो सदैव से ही स्वतंत्र था, लेकिन समाजवादी पार्टी द्वारा पत्र जारी कर मुझे औपचारिक स्वतंत्रता देने हेतु सहृदय धन्यवाद।

राजनीतिक यात्रा में सिद्धांतों एवं सम्मान से समझौता अस्वीकार्य है।
It is to be noted that the Uttar Pradesh government had recently provided 'Y' category security cover to Rajbhar, sparking the buzz that he may be warming up to the NDA again.
