Mulayam Singh’s daughter-in-law Aparna Yadav likely to join BJP

In what may be a body blow to the Samajwadi Party, Mulayam Singh Yadav’s daughter-in-law Aparna Yadav is likely to join the BJP ahead of the UP assembly polls.

After bleeding top leaders to the Samajwadi Party over the past week, the BJP may have finally scored a win of its own. SP patriarch Mulayam Singh Yadav’s daughter-in-law, Aparna Yadav, is likely to join the saffron party, sources said.

Aparna Yadav is the wife of Mulayam Singh’s younger son, Pratik Yadav. Sources said talks have been going on between the BJP and Aparna Yadav for some time now, and the two sides have come to an agreement with days to go to the Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls.
