Three Rebel SP MLAs to Join BJP Ahead of 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly Elections
Three rebel Samajwadi Party MLAs—Rakesh Pratap Singh, Abhay Singh, and Vinod Chaturvedi—are set to formally join the Bharatiya Janata Party on October 14 in Gauriganj, Amethi. This move follows their cross-voting in the recent Rajya Sabha elections and marks a political shift ahead of the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections. Senior BJP leaders, including Smriti Irani and Pankaj Chaudhary, are expected to attend the induction event. The development poses a challenge to SP leader Akhilesh Yadav and reflects ongoing realignments within Uttar Pradesh politics.
