UP Assembly Polls: Swami Prasad Maurya Joins SP
Jan-14-2022

Former Uttar Pradesh (UP) cabinet minister and prominent OBC leader Swami Prasad Maurya along with another rebel minister Dharam Singh Saini joined the Samajwadi Party (SP) today in the presence of party chief Akhilesh Yadav.

Along with the former Ministers, the MLAs, Bhagwati Sagar, Brijesh Prajapati Vinay Shakya, Mukesh Verma and Roshan Lal Verma and Apna Dal (Sonelal) legislator Amar Singh Chaudhary also joined the SP. They were given the SP membership at its office. The resignation of state Labour Minister Maurya had come as a jolt to the ruling BJP in poll-bound UP. The developments appear to strengthen the SP’s influence among the non-Yadav OBCs in the state, less than a month before the crucial elections. UP is scheduled to have a seven-phase poll beginning from February 10 to March 7.
