'My supporters didn't want me to vote for Chandra': MLA Shobha Rani Kushwaha

JAIPUR: Dholpur MLA Shobha Rani Kushwaha, who was suspended by the BJP for cross-voting in favour of Congress candidate Pramod Tiwari in the Rajya Sabha elections, on Saturday said her supporters did want her to vote for the saffron party-backed Independent candidate. Without naming anyone, Kushwaha targeted BJP's national leaders for allegedly getting her supporters and party workers defeated in Dholpur Nagar Parishad chairperson and panchayat elections in the district.
She said the BJP-backed Independent candidate was openly talking about cross-voting ahead of the polling and her supporters did not like him. In a press statement, Kushwaha alleged that the BJP has deceived the Kushwaha community and said her supporters do not want her to be in a party whose national-level leaders work to get their own workers defeated and no action was taken against them.
