Bhopal: Before the assembly elections to be held next year in Madhya Pradesh, the atmosphere is becoming electoral. In such a situation, 3 MLAs joined BJP on Tuesday. Samajwadi Party MLA Rajesh Kumar Shukla, Bahujan Samaj Party MLA Sanjeev Singh Kushwaha and Independent MLA Vikram Singh Rana have joined BJP.
Samajwadi Party MLA Rajesh Shukla from Chhatarpur's Bijawar and Bahujan Samaj Party MLA Sanjeev Kushwaha from Bhind left their party and joined the saffron party in the presence of CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan. The political background of Sanjeev Kushwaha has also been from BJP. His father Ramlakhan Singh was a five-time MP.
At present, both these MLAs were supporting the BJP from outside. The special thing is that the defection rule will not apply to these three MLAs. Because with the joining of only one MLA Rajesh Shukla from SP, 100 percent merger of the party has been done in BJP. On the other hand, Bahujan Samaj Party has two MLAs in the form of Rambai and Sanjeev Kushwaha. In this way, even if there is 50 percent merger with BJP, the anti-defection act will not apply. Let us tell you that the urban body elections are to be held in Madhya Pradesh in July itself. And with the joining of these MLAs, Congress will get a tough fight and BJP will get big support. The BJP currently has 127 members in the 230-member Madhya Pradesh Legislative Assembly.
