Lucknow: After its embarrassing defeat in the recently held by-polls in Uttar Pradesh, the ruling Yogi Adityanath-led BJP government in Uttar Pradesh has suffered yet another blow as state cabinet minister Swami Prasad Maurya’s son-in-law Naval Kishore joined the Samajwadi Party on Saturday.
Swami Prasad Maurya, a former OBC leader in BSP, had joined the BJP in 2016 ahead of the assembly polls in the state in which the saffron party secured a thumping win. He is currently serving as a minister in state cabinet.
Last Wednesday, BJP was dealt a stunning blow when it was defeated in bypolls to three Lok Sabha seats, including fortress Gorakhpur in Uttar Pradesh, in the countdown to 2019. The defeats in Gorakhpur and Phulpur hurt the BJP most.
