Lucknow: Ahead of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections in 2022, gangster-turned-politician Mukhtar Ansari's elder brother Sigbatullah Ansari and former Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) leader Ambika Chaudhary joined the Samajwadi Party (SP) on Saturday (August 28, 2021).  SP National president Akhilesh Yadav congratulated Sigbatullah and Chaudhary saying, "I congratulate Sibgatullah Ansari and his colleagues for joining the party. Your joining will send a message not only in Purvanchal but across the state that the SP government will be formed in 2022... I welcome Ambika Chaudhary to the party and I also welcome all the companions who came with him to the party. We all will work together that the SP government will come in 2022," he said.  A visibly emotional Chaudhary, called it a rebirth. "Today is like a rebirth for me, I want to say a lot but there is a lack of words. Akhilesh has compassionately asked me to include my son and colleagues in the party," he said.
