Quotes
Narendra Kashyap
Uttar Pradesh minister who commented on the Lohia Trust’s leadership and alleged dynastic politics.
“The head of the Samajwadi Party does not have any trust in anyone. He does not have faith in anyone. He does not even have faith in himself. That is why, if you look at his campaigns and look at his statements, do you see any stability? There is no stability. His issues keep changing, his statements keep changing.”

“However, it would have been better if someone from the social sector had been given the opportunity instead of Shivpal or Akhilesh Yadav”
