Husband 'abuses' SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav, wife loses Lok Sabha ticket

March 8, 2014

Mulayam_Singh_YadavLucknow, Mar 8: Samajwadi Party's Agra candidate Sarika Singh Baghel was stripped of the party ticket because of her husband Devendra Baghel's undoing. In a video grab with a local news channel, Devendra was seen using unsavoury words against none other that the SP chief. Expectedly, the clipping reached the party headquarters and Sarika lost her ticket. Devendra was sacked from the party.

The clipping shows that referring to SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav, Devendra says: "Agar Budhdhe ko pradhan mantri banana hai to chalwa do, warna matti kharaab ho jayegi tumhari" (If the old man (Mulayam) is to become the prime minister, allow the auto's through the no entry route else you will land in trouble). Though uttered in a fit of rage, these words of Baghel have cost him and his wife dear. Sarika has now been replaced by Maharaj Singh Dhanghar as its official candidate.

Known for giving a damn to the law of the land, Devendra has made headlines for all the wrong reasons for the past six months. He was accused of grabbing a house and influencing the Agra police to let off crooks. But what eventually proved the last straw for him was his heated exchange with an officer of the police recently.

Reports said Dewendra was miffed over the No Entry restriction for auto-rickshaws on MG Road and wanted the Agra police to lift this ban ever since the local auto rickshaw operator's union approached him with this demand. After his repeated telephonic requests to senior police officers failed to yield results, Dewendra reached the office of SP traffic Ashok Tripathi to seek a clarification on non-compliance of his "requests". Allegations are that when the police officer refused to entertain his demand of lifting the no entry restrictions, Dewendra lost his cool.

In a fit of rage he allegedly threatened to get the officer stripped of his uniform for his audacity to say no to him. When the officer asked him to mind his language, all hell broke loose. A fuming Dewendra then went on to threaten the officer saying that he would talk to chief minister Akhilesh Yadav on the issue. When the officer explained that it would be illegal to allow autos through No Entry, Dewendra yelled: "The old man will have to listen to us if he wants to become the prime minister. He will have to meet our demands, legitimate or otherwise."
