Addressing a press conference on Thursday, NCP chief Sharad Pawar said that four BJP MLAs in Uttar Pradesh could leave the party later today.
“Not a single day passes when a BJP leader does not leave the party. Take UP, for example, 13 MLAs are leaving the BJP to join another party. I have come to know that four BJP MLAs are leaving it today itself,” Pawar said.
NCP leader Nawab Malik, who also addressed reporters, announced that the party has decided to contest the upcoming Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls in an alliance with the Samajwadi Party.
“We have decided to contest elections with the Samajwadi Party in Uttar Pradesh. One seat has been announced and talks are on for other seats. We will support the alliance which is forming in UP,” Malik said.
