In an apparent jolt to the opposition parties in Uttar Pradesh ahead of the Lok Sabha polls, sitting MLAs and MLCs of Samajwadi Party, Rashtriya Lok Dal and BJP have resigned from the membership of the state Assembly and Council to join the Bahujan Samaj Party ranks.
SP MLAs Gauri Shanker from Malihabad and Dhani Ram Verma from Auraiya, RLD MLA Kadir Rana from Morana and BJP MLA Rajiv Trehan alias Rajiv Channa from Moradabad (West) resigned from the House and their parties on Tuesday.
The outgoing MLAs submitted their resignation to the Assembly Speaker Sukhdeo Rajbhar, which he accepted. Members of Legislative Council who resigned from the House included BJP MLC Ghanshyam, Ganesh Shanker Pandey of SP and Surendra Singh Nagar of RLD, BSP leaders here said on Wednesday.
After joining the BSP, the SP members alleged that the party had joined hands with communal forces. The BJP leaders, on the other hand, accused the party of playing up Ram Mandir issue only at the time of elections. The party had nothing to do with the cause of common people, they said.
The RLD members accused party president Ajit Singh of being an opportunist and alleged that he ditched the people by allying with communal forces.
