Lucknow, Sept. 17 -- A day after Uttar Pradesh fisheries minister and Nishad Party chief Sanjay Nishad had stated that if the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party closed the door on him, he would explore options, Nishad fired back at the Samajwadi Party (SP) indicating that his position in the NDA was strong and firm. On Wednesday, Sanjay Nishad fired a fresh salvo at the SP and its leadership, telling them to stop fretting over his party's political future and instead focus on their own shrinking base. In a post on X on Wednesday morning, Nishad invoked the proverb about people living in glass houses, advising SP leaders not to throw stones. He urged the "illiterate and lathi-wielding" elements in the SP to look into their own affairs rather than spreading rumours and making baseless comments about the Nishad Party. "Instead of wasting time worrying about the seats the Nishad Party will get, they should first sit with the Congress and settle the division of their own seats," Nishad wrote. He claimed SP's own people are on the verge of breaking away and asserted that the Nishad Party does not need any "support" from the Samajwadi Party. On the contrary, he said, the SP has itself failed so far to secure even the Congress's support as a crutch. Nishad highlighted that the Nishad Party's alliance within the NDA is one of equality and partnership. He reminded SP leaders of the 2015 Kasrawal (Kasarwal) incident in Gorakhpur, alleging that they ordered firing on "innocent brothers" of the Nishad community who were demanding their rights. "The question is not where Sanjay Nishad will go; the question is where will Shivpal Yadavji and Ramgopal Yadavji themselves go? The SP is continuously shrinking while the Nishad Party's mass base is continuously expanding," he said....
