CHANDIGARH: Kurukshetra MP Raj Kumar Saini on Thursday ruled out contesting next elections on BJP ticket. Interacting with his supporters of Loktantra Suraksha Manch in Karnal , Saini said he would not contest the elections, even if the party fielded him again from the same seat."BJP came to power as 90% voters of the backward classes (BC) voted for it with a hope that it would protect their interest. I will not accept even if party gives me the ticket to contest parliamentary or assembly elections. Instead of protecting their interests, this party has taken a stand against the backward community at all places, just to please a particular community. We don't do politics of interests but politics of welfare, hence we will contest from our own party," said Saini.Saini said his new political party would came into existence in August with a massive rally. "We had been asking BJP to throw me out. It is not just me but there could be many more people who are unwilling to contest from this party as well as from the Congress and INLD," he said.For the past three years, Saini has been up in arms against addition of more castes, including Jat and others, in the reservation quota for the other backward classes (OBC). He had openly opposed Jats' agitation for quota. He had also advocated quota for all on economic basis.Referring to the Congress, Saini said the party had ruined the OBCs in Haryana. "This party came to power 12 times in Haryana , but has failed to put the state on the path of development. Similarly, everybody is aware about the system of INLD where even MLAs are unsafe," he added.
