Ramabai Singh, a Bahujan Samajwadi Party (BSP) lawmaker has been eyeballing a ministerial position in Madhya Pradesh ever since Mayawati’s party extended its support to Congress.
The Bahujan Samajwadi Party (BSP) lawmaker, Ramabai Singh, from Patharia told news agency ANI:
“Hum ban jaye toh accha kaam karenge, nahi baney toh bhi sahi kaam karenge…Hum mantriyo ke baap hain, humne hi sarkar banayi hai (If I become a minister I will do good work, if I don’t then also I would do the right work. We (two BSP lawmakers) are the boss of all ministers, we have made this government).”
Ramabai Singh and Sanjeev Singh are in support of the Kamal Nath-led Congress in Madhya Pradesh ever since BSP extended its support to Congress.
Background
BSP lawmaker Ramabai Singh, had once warned the Congress government in Madhya Pradesh, that if she and the BSP lawmakers are not given ministerial berths then the state may witness a Karnataka-like situation.
At a public meeting in Damoh, Ramabai said, “I will do good work even if not made a minister. I am the “baap” (boss) of all ministers.”
She included, “BSP supported the Congress, which fell short of majority mark in the recently concluded Assembly elections.”
Ramabai Singh and Sanjeev Singh Kushwaha are the two BSP lawmakers who are now in support of the Congress in Madhya Pradesh.
In recent past, Ramabai Singh had said that the Congress “needs to keep everyone happy” if it wants a strong government in Madhya Pradesh. She included, “If they don’t give us ministerial berth, then not only me but others will also oppose. They need to keep everyone happy. If he wants a strong government, then firstly, he must make us strong. He should give us ministerial berths.”
