Just a political stunt: RLD chief on BJP’s ‘Bahubali’ remark

Meerut: RLD president Jayant Chaudhary on Saturday attacked BJP for calling their party candidate 'Bahubali' and asked why BJP's own MLA was removed (disqualified). "The one who does wrong definitely gets punished. It is just a political stunt. Madan Bhaiya has been an MLA four times and the public also has full faith in him," he said.
The Khatauli by-election is slated for December 5.On this, Chaudhary said, "It is a big election and we are campaigning at the micro-level, we are getting people's support. Public is with RLD.”
The seat fell vacant following the disqualification of sitting BJP MLA Vikram Saini after his conviction in the 2013 Muzaffarnagar riot case. On the disqualified MLA Vikram Saini, Chaudhary said, "The rioter belonged to the ruling party and has been punished. Public should get justice."
Till November 28, Chaudhary said, he would visit 85 villages and distribute voter's slips from house to house. “If needed I will definitely go to Mainpuri for campaigning. We all are united,” he said.
On the occasion of Constitution Day, Chaudhary said it is the responsibility of all of us to protect the values of the Constitution. The constitutional institutions are being politicised in a planned manner, in this regard the Supreme Court's decision to put the election commissioner in the dock is a serious matter, he added.
