New Delhi: Amid the ongoing Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party (SBSP) chief Om Prakash Rajbhar on Tuesday (February 15, 2022) made shocking allegations against Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.

Rajbhar alleged that he was attacked during the filing of the nomination of party candidate Arvind Rajbhar from Varanasi's Shivpur constituency on Monday and added that Yogi Adityanath wants to get him 'killed'.

"Yogi Ji wants to get me killed. Goons of BJP and Yogi were sent there in black coats," he was quoted as saying by ANI.

Om Prakash Rajbhar further demanded the Election Commission of India to provide security to him and Arvind Rajbhar.

It is noteworthy that Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party, a former ally of the Bharatiya Janata Party in UP, is fighting the current elections in alliance with Akhilesh Yadav's Samajwadi Party.

In the 2017 state assembly polls, the SBSP had won four seats and Rajbhar himself was elected from Zahoorabad in the Ghazipur district. He was also made a minister in the Yogi Adityanath government but quit the Cabinet in 2019 and broke ties with the saffron party.

Meanwhile, Uttar Pradesh on Monday voted in the second phase of the seven-phase assembly elections. The counting of votes is on March 10.
