Kanpur: The leader of the senior Congress party and former MP member Rakesh Sachan joined the Bharatiya Janata party at his headquarters in New Delhi on Thursday.
He has left the SP during the 2019 Sabha selection and joined the Congress.
He has recorded a poll from Fatehpur as Congress candidate in 2014 but was defeated by BJP’s Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti.
Sachan served as MLA from Ghatampur in 1993 and 2002.
Mulayam Singh had lowered Sachan from the seat of Fatehpur Lok Sabha in 2009.
Sachan had defeated Mahendra Prasad Nishad from the Bahajar Samaj Party (BSP) by around one Lakh’s voice.
He said that there was a difference between ‘Kathni’ and ‘Karni’ from Congress and he felt ignored there.
