Summary:

This too was rejected and Rajbhar with a handful of labourers build the road.Denied a party office, Rajbhar is functioning from his official residence even as a building was specially allotted to rebel SP MLA Shivpal Yadav. LUCKNOW: Repeatedly snubbed by chief minister Yogi Adityanath , NDA ally and state minister Om Prakash Rajbhar , who heads Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party (SBSP), returned his backward class welfare portfolio and threatened to quit the alliance on Thursday.Rajbhar held two portfolios - backward class welfare and disabled welfare. Bottled-up anger burst forth on Thursday, when he submitted a letter to the office of chief minister, giving up his backward class welfare portfolio.In his one-page letter, Rajbhar said his recommendations were dumped by the chief minister. "I was not being heard in my own department by my officials," said Rajbhar, while speaking to TOI.He regretted his proposal for including certain names in the Backward Class Commission, was rejected by the CM. Rajbhar's SBSP played a key role in BJP's impressive electoral success in eastern UP.After he was sworn in, CM Yogi Adityanath paid scant attention to his demands, including land for a party office and developmental of his constituency and home district..
