Two Samajwadi Party MLC Ashok Bajpai and Ambika Chaudhary has resigned from UP Legislative Council.
Lucknow: In another setback for the Samajwadi Party (SP), MLC Ashok Bajpai on Wednesday resigned from Uttar Pradesh Legislative Council.
"The people who made the party now have no stand. I am upset at the treatment meted to 'Netaji' (Mulayam Singh Yadav) in the party. I am tendering my resignation on my own from the Council membership," he told.
Bajpai's resignation from the UP Legislative Council took the number of party MLCs who have quit recently to four.
It is, however, not clear whether he will join the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) or not.
On the other hand, Ambika Chaudhary, who had joined BSP before UP assembly elections, also resigned from the UP Legislative Council.
