Mayawati inducts son of Jamat-e-Ulema chief into BSP
In an apparent bid to appease minority voters ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati on Saturday inducted a prominent leader of the Jamat-e-Ulema into her party.
Mehdood Madani, son of Jamat-e-Ulema Hind national president, Asad Madani, joined BSP in the presence of Mayawati.
The Jamat-e-Ulema Hind has a good hold on the Islamic seminary in Deoband. Mehdood's brother Mehmud Madani is a Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) leader and the two siblings have been reportedly at loggerheads for the past few years.
