New Delhi: Amid the ongoing political developments in Maharashtra, Union Minister Ramdas Athwale on Monday said that a similar situation can also arise in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, adding that some MLAs of Nitish Kumar’s JD (U) and Akhilesh Yadav’s Samajwadi Party are upset with their respective party leaders.
“In Uttar Pradesh, Jayant Chaudhary can join with NDA as he is currently upset with Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav.There is a possibility that differences are arise between MLAs in SP,” Athwale told the media.
Athwale’s remarks come a day after NCP leader Ajit Pawar joined the Shiv Sena-BJP and took oath as Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister on Sunday in a surprise and dramatic political move that changed political equations in the state ahead of Lok Sabha and assembly polls next year and has ramifications for national politics.
As opposition parties aim to unite against the BJP for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls, Ajit Pawar’s defection and the subsequent addition of eight other NCP MLAs to the Shinde-Fadnavis government have added further complexity to the political dynamics.
