He was given membership of the party by Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya and State President Swatantra Dev Singh at the party headquarters in Delhi. It is being told that she was angry with Akhilesh for not getting ticket from Lucknow Cantt.
This news of break in Mulayam family is a big blow for SP. At the same time, it is news of relief for the BJP troubled by the big leaders leaving the party. There was talk of Aparna joining BJP since two days.
Aparna wants ticket from Lucknow Cantt seat
It is being told that Aparna was seeking ticket from SP from Lucknow Cantt seat. However, Akhilesh was not ready for this. Aparna waited. But, when he did not get the green signal from the party chief, he made up his mind to leave the party. Aparna Yadav, wife of Mulayam Singh Yadav’s son Pratik, has lost the 2017 election from Lucknow Cantt Assembly on a SP party ticket.
Even after losing the election, Aparna Yadav has been active in the Lucknow Cantt area. He is also recognized as a social worker. It is necessary to remind here that Prateek Yadav is the son of Mulayam Singh Yadav’s second wife Sadhna Yadav from his first marriage. Mulayam has adopted him and given his name.
