SP feud working in BJP’s favour; will end its vanvas in UP: Vinay Sahasrabuddhe

The factional feud in Samajwadi Party in Uttar Pradesh is turning out to be “very much favourable” for the BJP and will help in ending its 14-year-old political “vanvas” in the poll-bound state, party national vice-president Vinay Sahasrabuddhe said today.

He said besides SP, the Mayawati-led BSP and Congress under its vice-president Rahul Gandhi are not in reckoning in the power race.

“Whatever is unfolding in UP, it’s turning out to be very much favourable for our party. Samajwadi Party, which was in a position to give a little bit of fight in the elections, is nowhere in the frey now. People were having some positive opinion about Akhilesh’s so called good governance, but all that has blown into air,” he told a press conference.
