Swami Prasad Maurya, another rebel UP minister Dharam Singh Saini along with five BJP MLAs joined SP ahead of UP polls. 

New Delhi: Former Uttar Pradesh cabinet minister and prominent OBC leader Swami Prasad Maurya on Friday (January 14) hit out at the ruling BJP as he joined Akhilesh Yadav-led Samajwadi Party ahead of a seven-phased state Assembly election.

Accusing the BJP of duping backward castes, Maurya said the countdown of the saffron party’s end has begun. "I want to tell the BJP that its final countdown begins today. By misleading the people of the country and the state, BJP has thrown dust in their eyes and exploited them. Now we have to eliminate BJP and free Uttar Pradesh from its exploitation,” ANI quoted him as saying. 

आज भाजपा के खात्मे का शंखनाद बज गया है। भाजपा ने देश और प्रदेश की जनता को गुमराह कर उनकी आंखों में धूल झोंकी है और जनता का शोषण किया है। अब भाजपा का खात्मा करके उत्तर प्रदेश को भाजपा के शोषण से मुक्त कराना है: स्वामी प्रसाद मौर्य pic.twitter.com/E8OrRPUpkN
