NDTV
In the letter to Mr Rajbhar, the party also said he has strong relations with the Bharatiya Janata Party and has been constantly working to strengthen them.
The Samajwadi Party today wrote to party chief Akhilesh Yadav's uncle Shivpal Singh Yadav and ally Om Prakash Rajbhar saying they are free to join other parties if they feel they will get more respect there.
In the letter to Mr Rajbhar, the party also said he has strong relations with the Bharatiya Janata Party and has been constantly working to strengthen them.
Mr Rajbhar, who heads the Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party (SBSP) which has six MLAs in the Uttar Pradesh legislative assembly, had recently supported the NDA's presidential candidate Droupadi Murmu. Shivpal Singh Yadav also supported the BJP-led NDA presidential candidate.
Both leaders had earlier this month attended a dinner hosted by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for Droupadi Murmu.
