Lucknow: Six Rebel BSP MLA and one legislator sitting from BJP formally join the Samajwadi Party in Lucknow on Saturday.
After triggering seven MLA into the folds of the party, SP Head Akhilesh Yadav said BJP must now change the slogan from ‘Mera Parivar BJP Parivar’ to ‘Mera Parivar Bhaagta Parivar’.
BSP MLA who joined SP included Mujtaba Siddiqui, Judge Lal Bind, Sushma Patel, Aslam Chaudhary, Hargovind Bhargava and Aslam Raini.
All were suspended from BSP on October 2020 for anti-party activities after they came into contact with the ‘Backroom Boys’ SP with plans to shift Loyalties.
BJP MLA from Sitapur, Rajkesh Rathore, who had vocal against his own government for some time on legal and order issues and handling pandemics, also joined SP.
Then, Akhilesh questioned the claim of home minister Union Amit Shah that BJP had fulfilled 90% of the promises he made in Sankalp Patra (Manifesto) ahead of the 2017 assembly poll.
“On the first page of Patra Sankalp, BJP promised that the income of farmers would multiply.
Is it already doubled, “he asked.
He said BJP promised to strengthen the Mandis system to help farmers sell their products easily but the government increases the pace of fertilizer, electricity and fuel.
