Praveen Kumar quits BSP after ‘pressure’ to end poll tie-up with BRS

Telangana State president of the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) Dr. R.S. Praveen Kumar has called it quits with the party following the reported attempts of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) exerting pressure on the BSP leadership to end its alliance with Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) for the ensuing Lok Sabha elections.

Breaking the news on a social media platform X (formerly Twitter) late on Saturday afternoon, Dr. Praveen Kumar said addressing ‘bahujans’: “I am unable to type this message, but I must do it anyway as the time to take new path has arrived now. Please forgive me for this post and I have no choice left. With heavy heart I have decided to leave Bahujan Samaj Party”.
