'Where is Yogiji?': Shrikant Tyagi's wife says he was in BJP; alleges harassment

Self-proclaimed BJP leader Shrikant Tyagi's wife Anu Tyagi said that he was a BJP leader. She also sought UP CM Yogi Adityanath's intervention in the case, alleging that she was being harassed at the behest of an MP.

Arrested self-proclaimed BJP leader Shrikant Tyagi’s wife Anu Tyagi on Wednesday said that her husband was a member of the saffron party. She also said that her family was being harassed at the behest of BJP MP Mahesh Sharma.

When asked about Mahesh Sharma’s denial of the BJP having any link to the BJP, she said: “My husband was a BJP member. This entire drama is being played out at the behest of Mahesh Tiwari. He abused the police commissioner. That’s why they [the police] were behaving like that with us.”

“My husband would have surrendered the first day. But we were only waiting for a lawyer so that we could take appropriate legal recourse. Had I not been detained at the police station, my husband would have surrendered the very next day as I could have engaged a lawyer and sought legal help,” she said. She also said that Shrikant Tyagi had surrendered and was not caught in any raid.
