Lucknow:
BSP supremo Mayawati on Saturday slammed Swami Prasad Maurya, saying he was "disloyal" to the party and worked for his own "selfish interest" ignoring his community.
She also made it clear that he will not be able to rejoin the party.
"The few people who have left BSP are selfish, Swami Prasad Maurya is a traitor," said Mayawati in a press conference after meeting leaders from her party.
Mayawati said though Maurya has quit BSP, the community members were solidly behind her party.
BSP chief Mayawati on Saturday chaired a meeting of all party MLAs in Lucknow with an objective to avoid any further defections.
As many as eight BSP MLAs have been sacked by the party in last one month, including five who had voted against party whip in the Rajya Sabha polls.
