“What national security threat did Varun pose? None,” said Yadav, who himself was served an Election Commission notice on Monday, but in the same breath added both BSP and BJP are working hand in glove. “The entire drama was deliberate. BSP wanted BJP to score some points. Why else didn’t the state government stop Varun earlier,” he said.
