OBC Votes: RPN Singh to help CM Yogi damage control SP Maurya's exit? | UP Polls

Published on Jan 26, 2022 12:16 am IST

Ahead of the Uttar Pradesh assembly elections, Gandhi loyalist RPN Singh has dealt a blow to the Congress by switching to the BJP. RPN Singh while joining the BJP said that he was looking for a new beginning in politics. The latest addition to the BJP comes after many OBC faces in the party quit and joined the Samajwadi Party. Many believe that this gain of the Yogi-led BJP in Uttar Pradesh is damage control for the string of exits that marred the party earlier this month. In this highlight from the Poll Baazi episode, political analysts reveal why RPN Singh cannot be a replacement for Swami Prasad Maurya for the BJP. Watch for more details.
