Keep distance from middlemen, sycophants: UP BJP chief Keshav Maurya asks leaders

MIRZAPUR, UP: State BJP chief Keshav Maurya today asked the party leaders to maintain distance from contractors, sycophants, middlemen and to never ignore the party workers.

"BJP's face is changing...all its leaders need to maintain distance from agents, contractors, middleman and sycophants as under the influence of such people they often neglect party workers who in turn feel humiliated," Maurya said here.

Maurya, who has set the target of winning 265 seats out of the total 404 in assembly elections due next year, assured the workers all help.

On the allegations of criminal cases against him, Maurya said,"opponents claim that Keshav Maurya has 10 cases against him...I am ready to face 1000 cases for the workers".
