Atal ji fought and made me a minister- Ajay Rai
Ajay Rai was talking to a YouTube news channel. He told that in 2002, Atal ji fought and made me a minister. Ajay Rai said that in 2002, when the BSP-BJP coalition government was formed, I was asked to make a minister. Ajay Rai said that a proposal for my name came from Raj Bhavan, but after that I received information in the morning on the morning that the Principal Secretary of the Governor called me.
Ajay Rai said, "When I went to him, he said that your name has come by mistake, not you but West MLA Bharatendu Singh had to take oath as a minister. I told the Principal Secretary that you are the employee of the governor, I will talk directly to him."
Ajay Rai further says, "After this I went to Raj Bhavan and met. Lal ji Tandon ji was also sitting there. I told him that now I told me that I will take oath of minister but now I am asking for a letter. Then Lal ji Tandon tried to talk to the talk but I was of stubborn nature."
'She was Atal ji's BJP'
After this, Ajay Rai says that I came back by giving proposal to the Governor and Atal ji came to know about this. He said that Atal ji was the Prime Minister of the country. According to Ajay Rai, Atal ji again said that one thing should increase the number of cabinet with BSP quota and also administer the oath to Ajay Rai. Ajay Rai said, "This shows Atal ji's heart and the BJP of that time, but it was Atal ji's BJP."
