Former Uttar Pradesh MLA Pramod Gupta, a relative of Samajwadi Party patriarch Mulayam Singh Yadav, joined the BJP on Thursday. Pramod Gupta is the brother-in-law of Mulayam Singh Yadav’s wife Sadhna Gupta.
This comes a day after Mulayam Singh’s daughter-in-law Aparna Yadav joined the BJP.
Pramod Yadav accused party chief Akhilesh Yadav of imprisoning Mulayam Singh Yadav and said his condition was very bad within the party at present.
He even said, “Criminals and gamblers have been inducted to Samajwadi Party.” After joining the BJP, Aparna Yadav said she has always been “influenced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi]”.
Assembly polls in Uttar Pradesh will be held between February 10 and March 7. The election results will be announced on March 10.
