Senior Bahujan Samaj Party Leader Quits As Party's Legislative Leader, MLA

Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) alleged that Shah Alam was pressuring Mayawati to help him in a case lodged against him by a woman.

BSP Legislature Party leader in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly, Shah Alam, on Thursday resigned as an MLA and from his party, saying their chief Mayawati does not trust him.

Hours after he resigned, the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) hit back, alleging that he was pressuring Mayawati to help him in a case filed against him by a woman.

Shah Alam, however, did not disclose the party he is intended to join.

"I am mentally disturbed and I have no intention of going to any party right now. I will rest for a few days," he said.
