UP, Punjab, Uttarakhand Elections 2022 Live Updates: BJP’s marathon seat-sharing meeting ends after 14 hours; Rajbhar warns of more defection

Labor Minister Swami Prasad Maurya resigned. Although Maurya, a prominent leader of the Other Backward Classes (OBC), has not clarified whether he is joining the Samajwadi Party, the SP has tweeted a welcome message. The recent developments appear less than a month before the crucial elections to consolidate the SP’s influence among non-Yadav OBCs in the state, which will also have an impact on the 2024 parliamentary elections.

OP Rajbhar, a former ally of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and now the SP, said in an interview to Hindustan Times that the BJP is an enemy of OBCs and that more leaders will leave the party. Rajbhar, himself a prominent OBC leader, said it would be a challenge for the BJP to retain its OBC base. “If you had talked to BJP leaders on spy cameras, they would have said the same thing – that no one listens to them, that they are helpless,” he said. Heed my words, on March 10 (counting day) no BJP leader will come out of their house and they will switch off their TVs,” he said. Three other BJP MLAs also announced their resignations from the party on Tuesday.

Uttar Pradesh minister Kapil Dev Agarwal was booked on Wednesday for violating the model code of conduct and COVID protocol for holding a rally in a public ground here without permission. The UP Vocational Education and Skill Development Minister was booked along with 40 BJP workers after holding a public meeting in Ramlila Tila area of ​​Kotwali police station area of ​​the district on Tuesday, police said.
