Three Rebel Samajwadi Party MLAs to Join BJP Ahead of Uttar Pradesh Elections
Three rebel Samajwadi Party MLAs—Rakesh Pratap Singh, Abhay Singh, and Vinod Chaturvedi—are set to join the Bharatiya Janata Party ahead of the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections. The MLAs, expelled from the SP after cross-voting in the 2024 Rajya Sabha elections, represent constituencies in Amethi, Ayodhya, and Jalaun. Their move is seen as a significant political development that may influence local electoral dynamics and BJP's outreach in key regions.
