Priyanka Maurya, the face of Congress 'Ladki Hoon, Lad Sakti Hoon' poster in Uttar Pradesh, may join the BJP soon. BJP sources said that she visited the party headquarters in Lucknow on Wednesday, triggering speculation of her joining the saffron party. Maurya said, 'Ladki Hoon Lad Sakti Hoon' has been rendered as a mere slogan because "as a 'ladki', I was not allowed to contest elections because I could not pay bribe'.

She claimed that instead of giving the ticket to her, it was given to a person who joined the party just a month back. "I completed all formalities but the ticket was pre-planned and was given to a person who came just a month back. I want to send this message to Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi that such things are happening on the ground," said Maurya.
