The BJP has come down heavily against the former soldier and the political parties that were backing him.
BJP MP Narasimha Rao said, “Parties like Congress rallied behind such anti-social elements rather than the government is a matter of concern. The fact that he was sought to be drafted as a candidate by SP, it really stuns us. We condemn it, we expect all agencies to take note of this threat.”
Yadav shot to limelight when his video, complaining of the food served to BSF soldiers, went viral. He was latter dismissed from BSF. Tej Bahadur Yadav again made headlines when he was chosen by Samajwadi Party to contest from Varanasi against Narendra Modi.
However, the present video casts shadows about the former soldier’s integrity and real motives.
