"In these 11 years, the BJP has failed to provide real development. Instead, it has fostered division and disillusionment among the people," he told reporters.

When asked about Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's remark that the SP remembers Mohammad Ali Jinnah whenever the BJP celebrates Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel's birth anniversary, Suman retorted, "Yogi should read history properly. The RSS was banned after Nathuram Godse assassinated Mahatma Gandhi. Sardar Patel lifted the ban on the condition that RSS would not engage in politics."

He also expressed strong opposition to the Madhya Pradesh government's alleged refusal to install a statue of B R Ambedkar at the Gwalior High Court premises.

"If a statue of Manu can be installed at the Rajasthan High Court, why can't a statue of the architect of the Constitution be placed in Madhya Pradesh's High Court?" he questioned, demanding immediate action from the state government.

Suman was in controversy recently over his statement against Rana Sanga.
