Denying outright the issue of going to BJP or cooperating in power, Umashankar Singh said in a conversation with NDTV that, BSP was not the B team of BJP. Rather, she was fighting the BJP in the true sense. But the people voted for it considering a direct fight with the SP, which benefited the BJP. Rejecting the speculation of supporting the ruling party as his party’s lone MLA, he said that he would continue to raise public issues in the House and play the role of the opposition well.

When he was asked this question that your 10 percent vote share has decreased and you have come alone by electing from your party, in response he said, “The biggest reason for this is our media world. Who spread the rumor that BSP BJP has B team. This rumor spread so fast in the middle of the elections that all the strong candidates we had. They also could not get votes accordingly.”

In this sequence, we have given Zahoorabad seat.” She had given ticket to Syeda Shadab Fatima. She has been a three-time legislator minister. Apart from this, she also has a personal vote bank there.”
On the question of BSP’s vote bank slipping due to free ration, Umashankar Singh said, “Yes it is true that BSP’s vote bank has shifted to BJP. But it is also a fact that BJP has got free ration from its party fund. It is not given. had money.”
