Former BSP leader Ramveer Upadhyay meets Yogi, leaving speculation over Joining Bhartiya Janta Party

Ramveer Upadhyay, former Uttar Pradesh minister had a meeting with UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, triggering the speculation that he may join the ruling Bhartiya Janta Party ahead of the 2022 state Assembly elections.

Confirming to the development, an adviser of the legislator from the Sadabad Assembly constituency in Hathras district said on Sunday that, “Ramveer Upadhyay met the chief minister at the latter’s official residence on Saturday.” When asked whether Upadhyay is planning to join the BJP, he said, “Not at all. It was a meeting to convey the problems people face in his constituency.”

Meanwhile, Satish Chandra Misra, general secretary of Bahujan Samaj Party said that, “Ramveer Upadhyay was elected as an MLA on a BSP ticket in 2017. But during last year’s Lok Sabha polls, he indulged in anti-party activities by helping the candidates of rival parties. The BSP had suspended him from the party then itself.

“If he joins the BJP, it will have no impact on the BSP. The BSP is surging ahead strongly. Law and order has collapsed in Uttar Pradesh. There have been incidents of atrocities on Brahmins and they are now looking towards the BSP, as they know that it is the only party which has taken the community along and worked for its interest in the past”.
