Lucknow: Former BJP minister and now Samajwadi Party (SP) leader, Swami Prasad Maurya has said that he will soon file a defamation case against the Noida Police Commissioner, who had announced that he (Maurya) had provided a VIP car pass to self-proclaimed leader Shrikant Tyagi, without investigating the matter.

I, myself, was issued the car sticker today. That too of 2022

“The police commissioner has taken my name without investigation. I will file a defamation claim against the police commissioner. It was the police commissioner and not Shrikant Tyagi who took my name,” said Maurya.

He further alleged that since his support base had increased, the BJP was scared and this was the reason why his name was being raised again and again.

“When I was in the BJP, how did Shrikant Tyagi get membership? It should be checked. This is the politics of the BJP, that is why my name was raised. Sometimes in the STF case and sometimes in the Shrikant case. How did he get the pass on his Fortuner car, BJP should tell this,” Maurya said.

He also claimed that, “I, myself, was issued the car sticker today. That too of 2022. How can I give the pass to anyone?”
