Three rebel MLAs from the Samajwadi Party, formally joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Wednesday (October 14) in Amethi. The induction formalises a split which started in February 2024 during the Rajya Sabha polls, when some MLAs cross-voted in favour of the BJP candidate. The rebel MLAs — Abhay Singh, Rakesh Pratap Singh, and Vinod Chaturvedi — joined the BJP at a function attended by senior BJP leaders including National General Secretary Smriti Irani and U.P. BJP chief Pankaj Chaudhary.
