In the latest blow to the BJP ahead of Assembly elections, minister and OBC leader Dharam Singh Saini has resigned from the state cabinet.
Mr Saini, a four-time legislator from Nakud in Saharanpur, is the third state minister to step down in past three days and the eighth MLA to part ways with the ruling party in what is being seen as a crucial swing ahead of a crucial election.
Mr Saini, earlier with the BSP, had joined the BJP in 2016 with former UP minister Swami Prasad Maurya, who quit the cabinet day before and announced that "all will be revealed on Friday", sparking speculation in political circles.
