In a surprising political twist, the BSP (Bahujan Samaj Party) mistakenly appointed a BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party) leader as a BSP district head and even announced it officially. The leader, Yogendra Jatav, did not attend Mayawati’s meeting, leading to her anger. As a result, former MP Munquad Ali was removed from his responsibilities for the Bareilly, Moradabad, and Saharanpur districts.
BSP is now facing criticism for this major mistake. Despite the error, BSP officials are scrambling to fix the situation. The mix-up involved Yogendra Jatav, who remains a BJP member and had not joined BSP. BSP had mistakenly given him a key role in six districts in Meerut.
When Jatav did not appear at the important meeting in Lucknow, Mayawati questioned BSP leaders, who could not explain the blunder. Mayawati is furious about the false information.
Changes in BSP Responsibilities
Due to this issue, Munquad Ali was removed from the responsibilities of Bareilly, Moradabad, and Saharanpur districts, and was reassigned to Bundelkhand and Kanpur. Previously, he had been moved from Meerut to handle these districts. This shake-up comes as BSP prepares for upcoming by-elections in Saharanpur, where they are focusing their efforts.
Statements from the Involved Parties
Yogendra Jatav commented that he remains a loyal BJP member and is confused about why his name was associated with BSP roles. He suggested that there might have been political motives behind this mistake.
Former MP Munquad Ali said he was unaware of the specifics of the situation and denied being removed due to the confusion. He is ready to take on his new responsibilities in Bundelkhand and Kanpur as directed by BSP.
BSP Meerut district president Jai Pal Singh Pal added that Jatav was included in the list after verbal agreement, and his refusal might be due to pressure.
