Paswan hails Mulayam, flays Maya

Lok Janashakti Party chief Ram Vilas Paswan was precise, straightforward and to the point when he raised some pertinent issues at a press conference this evening.

First, he congratulated SP leader Mulayam Singh Yadav for his new job as Uttar Pradesh CM and for bringing together a secular, united government in Lucknow.

8216;8216;In the garb of proclaiming herself as 8216;daughter of Dalit8217;, Mayawati has been responsible for corrupt governance,8217;8217; Paswan said. However, he said, he would be keeping a watch on how Yadav maintains the secular factor. 8216;8216;This government should prove its secularism at every step. If any issue like DPM L.K. Advani8217;s court cases or Ayodhya comes up, I am certain Mulayam will act according to the law and the Constitution,8217;8217; Paswan said.
