BJP plays down Pradhan joining SP

April 08, 2014 15:08

The BJP today sought to down play the issue of its senior leader Ashok Pradhan joining hands with the Samajwadi Party.

"Question should be posed to Pradhan," BJP leader Balbir Punj said when asked to comment on it. "Because the person, who was associated with a party and its ideology for so many years benefited from it. Now what happened that after not getting the party ticket he has to switch over to other party," he said.

Ahead of elections in Gautam Budh Nagar on April 10, former Union Minister Pradhan joined SP, claiming that there was "trade" of Lok Sabha tickets in the party.
