Lucknow : BJP , including Yogi, is left baffled in Uttar Pradesh after their minister Swami Prasad Maurya resigned from U. P. cabinet to join SP and the timing could not have been worse with Assembly elections knocking at door. Maurya is Labour Minister and will now contest elections on Samawadi Party(SP) ticket. According to sources, some MLAs close to Maurya are set to follow his footsteps and cross over to SP.
The parting was rather brrief affair. Maurya submitted his resignation, met with SP leader Akhilesh and accepted party membership.
