Dharam Singh Saini became the third minister to resign from the Yogi Cabinet just ahead of the high-octane elections following Dara Singh Chauhan and Swami Prasad Maurya.
The jolt to the BJP in Uttar Pradesh continues with Ayush minister Dharam Singh Saini resigning from the Yogi Cabinet on Thursday. Dalit leader, four-time MLA from the Nakud assembly, sent his resignation to the UP governor and then, according to the sequence of the previous big-ticket switchover, Samajwadi chief Akhilesh Yadav tweeted a photo with Saini like he did with Maurya and Dara Singh Chauhan, posing in front of cabinets full of books.

When Maurya left the party, Saini said he was aware that his name was on the list of MLAs that Maurya presented and claimed that these MLAs would be leaving the BJP, but asserted that he will not leave the party.
OBC leader Om Prakash Rajbhar on Wednesday claimed that one to two ministers would quit the Yogi Adityanath Cabinet daily and this figure would go up to 18 by January 20. “I had realised BJP’s apathy towards Dalits, backwards and the deprived sections of the society in a short time after joining the government in 2017 but these people waited all these days and, left with no hope, are quitting it now,” the Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party chief said.
