New Delhi: Just a fortnight before big UP polls, Mulayam Singh Yadav's daughter-in-law and Akhilesh Yadav's sister-in-law Aparna Yadav was seen with a top UP BJP leader in flight heading towards Delhi this evening. She is likely to join the BJP tomorrow.
Aparna Yadav is the wife of Mulayam Singh’s younger son, Pratik Yadav. Sources said talks have been going on between the BJP and Aparna Yadav for some time now, and the two sides have come to an agreement with days to go to the Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls.
When reporters asked Akhilesh Yadav about her joining BJP, he denied and called it mere speculations.
Two weeks before, BJP's top leader Swami Prasad Maurya left the party and joined Samajwadi party. A total of 13 BJP leaders left the party along with him.
