Mulayam Yadav`s daughter in law joins BJP |
In a major blow to Akhilesh Yadav-led Samajwadi Party, his father and former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mulayam Singh Yadav`s daughter-in-law Aparna Yadav on January 19 joined Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ahead of the upcoming 2022 Uttar Pradesh Assembly election. The development comes days after BJP saw back-to-back exits of ministers and party MLAs. Former UP ministers from Yogi Adityanath`s cabinet Dara Singh Chauhan and Swami Prasad Maurya joined Akhilesh Yadav ahead of the high-octane battle. Aparna Yadav joined BJP in presence of Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya and BJP state president Swatantra Dev Singh. At the event, Aparna Yadav said she has always been impressed with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and added that the nation`s interest has always been her priority. Aparna Yadav said "I am very thankful to BJP. The nation always comes first for me. I admire PM Modi`s work”. Assembly polls in Uttar Pradesh will be held in seven phases beginning from February 10.
