BSP Not Happy With SAD?
It is almost sure that BSP will come forward in support of the BJP in need source says. BJP is also trying to bring back SAD into its rank by reviving the NDA source says. NDA was almost defunct after 2014 but the stiff challenge from the opposition probably forced the BJP to take the help of all its ex-allies and cement the ties in this direction a meeting has also been called on 18th July source says. BSP never became part of NDA though at times supported BJP source says. BSP is always opposed to SAD and never felt comfortable in their association probably this was the reason that on the death of Prakash Singh Badal, she has not issued any statement of condolences nor visited the house source says. The act of the BSP supremo was very uncommon because generally all political parties issue condolence on the demise of senior fellow party leaders source says. In contrast, BJP leadership tried to be seen as grieved as the Badal family source says. This was seen as an act to bring back the SAD into the fold again source says. SAD representative in the central government resigned on Kissan support price and wrongful handling of Kissan andolan source says. The issue has already been resolved so BJP feels that the oldest ally must join them for future source says. The appointment of Sunil Jakhar as state president is also seen as a move in the right direction because Jakhar and Sukhbir Badal maintain good rapport source says. BSP is wary about all these moves and most likely maintains a suitable distance for the time being the BJP source says.
