NDA tremors: Key UP allies skip PM’s event

Bickering among the coalition partners in the ruling National Democratic Alliance has come to fore again ahead of the general elections. As PM Narendra Modi attended a function, where he released a postal stamp dedicated to Maharaja Suheldev in Uttar Pradesh’s Ghazipur, leaders of two NDA constituents skipped the event. While Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party President OP Rajbhar, who is also a minister, opted out claiming Maharaja Suheldev’s full name wasn’t written on the stamp, another constituent Apana Dal accused the BJP of disrespecting the smaller parties in Uttar Pradesh.
