If Aparna Yadav joins the BJP, it will placate the ruling party which has suffered a series of setbacks over the past few days with three of its ministers along with over half a dozen MLAs shifting to the Samajwadi Party.
Three former UP ministers who were welcomed by Akhilesh Yadav in his party are Swami Prasad Maurya, Dharam Singh Saini, and Dara Singh Chauhan. Along with them, MLAs Vinay Shakya, Roshan Lal Verma, Mukesh Verma, and Bhagwati Sagar also joined the rival camp.
