A week after Bihar ally Upendra Kushwaha quit the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), BJP's partner in Uttar Pradesh, Apna Dal (Sonelal), has expressed discontent, saying the party is not getting respect from the state BJP leadership. The party's chief Ashish Patel - whose wife Anupriya Patel is the Union Minister of State for Health - said BJP's partners in Uttar Pradesh are upset and the party must address the issue. Mr Patel also said that the party must learn from its recent losses in Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh, where the Congress formed the government.
