BSP names Devendra Singh as Etah candidate

Bahujan Samaj Party has named sitting Etah MP Kunwar Devendra Singh as its candidate from Etah parliamentary constituency.

Singh quit the Samajwadi Party on Friday and joined the BSP.

Significantly, he is the sixth sitting MP who has shifted his loyality from SP to BSP ahead of the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections.

MPs, who have already joined BSP, include Shahid Siddiqui, who was elected to Rajya Sabha as SP candidate, Afzal Ansari from Ghazipur, Dhaniram Verma, Gauri Shanker, Kriti Vardhan Singh and Saif-ur-Rehman Barq.

Afzal, who is brother of sitting MLA, Mukhtar Ansari, went into BSP fold after being denied ticket by the SP from Ghazipur.

Mukhtar too had been named as candidate from Varanasi by BSP and will contest against BJP heavyweight Murli Manohar Joshi.

Saif-ur-Rehman parted ways with the SP after Mulayam Singh’s renewed bonhomie with the former BJP leader Kalyan Singh.

SP sources claimed that majority of the MP, who left the party in recent times, are those who had been denied ticket for the Lok Sabha elections.

Sitting MP from Gonda Kirti Vardhan Singh was the lone exception. The MP left the party despite the fact that he had already been named as a candidate by the SP
