Mass Resignation From UP BJP: Before the elections in UP, many BJP leaders have started switching sides. Giving a big blow to BJP, BJP’s big leader Swami Prasad Maurya joined Akhilesh’s party SP. After his resignation, three more MLAs resigned.

Moments after he posted his resignation letter on Twitter, another MLA, Roshan Lal Verma, announced his resignation. Reports suggest he may take a few more MLAs with him.

While resigning, Swami Prasad Maurya said that despite having ideological differences, we worked diligently with Yogi Adityanath. But I am angry with the way Dalits, OBCs, farmers, unemployed and small traders are being suppressed in his government.

Mass Resignation From UP BJP: More in the queue

Soon after submitting his resignation letter to the Governor, a picture of him with Akhilesh Yadav came, in which the SP chief confirmed Swami Prasad Maurya’s joining the Samajwadi Party. Swami Prasad Maurya was the Labor Minister in the Yogi government. As soon as he joined the SP, he indicated that there was going to be a big stampede in the BJP. Swami Prasad Maurya Joins SP said that the game has just started. The result of the game will come in 1-2 days.

After the resignation of Swami Prasad Maurya, it is believed that the BJP may face many more major setbacks. If sources are to be believed, 4 MLAs including AYUSH Minister Dharam Singh Saini can also join Samajwadi Party with Swami Prasad Maurya. If sources are to be believed, BJP MLA from Kanpur Dehat Bhagwati Prasad Sagar has been seen at Swami Prasad Maurya’s residence.

In such a situation, there is speculation that he too can follow the path of Swami Prasad Maurya. Also, Minister Dara Singh Chauhan can also leave the BJP. Not only this, BJP MLA from Tilhar Roshan Lal Verma can also go to SP. BJP MLA from Tilhar in Shahjahanpur, Roshan Lal himself reached Raj Bhavan with the resignation of Swami Prasad Maurya.
