Moradabad (UP): Maulana Tauqeer Raza Khan, the firebrand Muslim leader courted by politicians including AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal, on Tuesday predicted that the ruling Samajwadi Party will manage to win only 10 Lok Sabha seats this time.
The Maulana said, Muslim MLAs and ministers were misguiding their Netaji, an euphemism for SP supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav, while the minority community is facing woes.
He alleged that the SP government had no control on its own police.
The Maulana said, he would prefer to go alone, but will keep all alternatives open.
Maulana Tauqeer is the national president of All India Ittehad-e-Millat Council.
He praised BSP supremo Mayawati saying that she has set an example by celebrating her birthday in simple style this time. "The entire Muslim qaum is angry with Mulayam", he added.
