UP: BJP's Prayagraj MP resigns, to contest from Samajwadi Party

Lucknow, Mar 16 (IBNS): Continuing the trend of switching sides in the election season, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP from Prayagraj, Shyama Charan Gupta, on Saturday resigned as the party member, media reports said.

Gupta is likely to contest the upcoming General Elections on former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav's Samajwadi Party (SP)'s ticket.

The former BJP member switched side on a day Janata Dal Secular (JDS) general secretary Danish Ali joined former Uttar Pradesh Mayawati's Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP).

The twin inductions may boost SP and BSP, the two parties which are fighting the polls in an alliance to defeat the BJP.
