In a setback to Ajit Singh's Rastriya Lok Dal (RLD), its legislative party leader Dalvir Singh today joined BJP.
Singh, who was elected to the Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly from Barauli in Aligarh on RLD ticket, joined BJP, along with his supporters, at its headquarter here in presence of the party's state president Keshav Prasad Maurya.
Besides Singh, former BSP MLA from Karchana (Allahabad), Anand Kumar, Congress spokesperson Dhirenda Singh and others also joined BJP.
Speaking on the occasion, Maurya claimed that BJP would get absolute majority in the upcoming Assembly polls and said the party's state unit requests the Election Commission to remove officers, who could affect "free and fair" conduct of polls.
