BJP loses, SP gains leaders in Uttar Pradesh

In a big jolt to the ruling Bhartiya Janata Party just a month before elections in the state of Uttar Pradesh, Cabinet Minister and a prominent backward leader Swami Prasad Maurya resigned from his post. Maurya was welcomed by Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav soon after he announced his resignation. Maurya said in his resignation letter that he tried to diligently execute his responsibilities as a labor minister in Yogi Adityanath`s cabinet despite "opposite ideologies". However, it was the neglect shown towards backward, Dalits, unemployed youth, farmers, and small and medium scale traders that forced him to quit. Another BJP MLA from Shahjahanpur, Roshan Lal Verma, also a backward leader, said he will tender his resignation soon. Maurya joins the SP a day after sitting BJP MLA from Badaun R K Sharma joined the SP and strong Congress leader in western UP Imran Masood also quit his party with an intention to join the SP. Maurya, a prominent OBC leader is a five-time MLA who fought and won his last three elections from Padrauna in Kushinagar in eastern UP. It may be noted that Maurya started his political career in BSP. He spent twenty years in the party before leaving the BSP for the BJP in 2016, ahead of the last UP assembly elections. He had accused BSP chief Mayawati of corruption and "auctioning" of seats before joining the BJP.
