1 BJP, 3 expelled Congress MLAs join BSP in UP
Ahead of the 2017 elections in Uttar Pradesh, four sitting MLAs, including one from BJP and three expelled from Congress, have joined the BSP. A former BSP MLA who had joined BJP before the 2012 Assembly polls also returned to the party. Notably, the three Congress MLAs were expelled from the party for cross-voting in the recent Rajya Sabha elections.
