'Muslim Woman Behind Akhilesh-Raja Bhaiyya's Break Up': SP Leader Abu Azmi's New Shocker
News 18Samajwadi Party Maharashtra state president Abu Azmi on Tuesday claimed that a “Muslim woman, apparently the wife of a policeman”, was responsible for the ouster of Raghuraj Pratap Singh, popularly known as Raja Bhaiya, from former UP CM Akhilesh Yadav’s team. The six-time independent MLA Raja Bhaiya was seen close to SP and was a minister in the Akhilesh cabinet. However, despite promising to vote in favour of SP in the Rajya Sabha elections held in 2018, Raja Bhaiya went for the BJP candidate on grounds that his vote would have helped his bete noire Mayawati as SP was backing a BSP canidate for the sake of forming an anti-BJP grand alliance. Azmi claimed that SP President Akhilesh Yadav removed powerful leader Raja Bhaiyya from his position after “a Muslim woman- wife of policeman asked him to do so.” He added that the whole world is watching, that Yadav also initiated an inquiry by IPS officers in the Raja Bhaiya controversy.
