[1]Dejected after being sacked for non-performance by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati, former minister Avadhesh Kumar Verma today broke down before a congregation of people in the district.
Verma, wept uncontrollably while addressing the gathering, claimed that he was dropped despite having a clean image.
The BSP leader announced that he would be contesting as an Independent candidate in his home constituency Dadraul in the upcoming UP polls.
"There was no case of corruption against me and I was removed without a charge. I had huge respect for BSP chief Mayawati," the leader said. Verma, who was the MoS (Independent Charge) of OBC Welfare, was among the 16 ministers dropped by Mayawati in the last few months.
