Former BSP MLA Vandana Singh also joined the Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) in the presence of the party&#8217;s state chief Swatantra Dev Singh. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This development came right before the state assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh, which are expected to be held around February-March in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier this week, the Rae Bareli MLA was seen criticizing the leadership of Congress, she slammed senior leader Priyanka Gandhi for questioning the government on controversial farm laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Rebel Congress MLA Aditi Singh Joins BJP Ahead Of UP Polls <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/rbdcClBWEm\">https:\/\/t.co\/rbdcClBWEm<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/0zMQneUlFt\">pic.twitter.com\/0zMQneUlFt<\/a><\/p>&mdash; NDTV News feed (@ndtvfeed) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ndtvfeed\/status\/1463488831940968452?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 24, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p> &#8220;Priyanka\u00a0Gandhi had a problem when Bills were brought. She has a problem when the laws have been repealed. What does she want? She should say it clearly. She is only politicising the matter. She has now run out of issues to politicise,&#8221; said rebel Congress leader Aditi Singh. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Along with Aditi Singh, Bahujan Samajwadi Party&#8217;s (BSP) former MLA from Azamgarh was also inducted in the BJP at a press conference held in Lucknow, where the party&#8217;s state unit chief  Aditi, along with dissident Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) MLA from Azamgarh, Vandana Singh, was inducted into the BJP at a press conference held in Lucknow, in presence of the party&#8217;s state unit chief Swatantra Dev Singh was also present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speculations were already rife of Aditi joining the saffron party since 2019 when the Congress MLA appreciated Narendra Modi-led government for scrapping Article 370 and praised Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for the work done to promote solar energy and cleanliness in UP. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This development is not only a gain for BJP in UP but also a major loss for Congress, as she was one of the prominent leaders of Congress. BJP will be hoping that the induction of Aditi will help them to defeat oppositions in the upcoming UP elections in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"javascript:void(0);\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This development came right before the state assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh, which are expected to be held around February-March in 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":214542,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"Rae Bareli\u2019s Congress MLA Aditi Singh joins BJP with BSP\u2019s Vandana Singh ahead of UP elections in 2022\n\n#AditiSingh #CongressMLAAditiSingh","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true},"categories":[123693,1497,123694,13],"tags":[72742,112473,86,112475,112474,2167,99559],"yst_prominent_words":[72737,19395],"ppma_author":[140543],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/d2r2ijn7njrktv.cloudfront.net\/apnlive\/uploads\/2021\/11\/24185109\/aditi-singh.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"authors":[{"term_id":140543,"user_id":4,"is_guest":0,"slug":"apnnewsdesk","display_name":"APN Live","avatar_url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/478eacb893eda88aa6ed8d99b005bf58?s=96&r=g"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/214519"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=214519"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/214519\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/214542"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=214519"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=214519"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=214519"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=214519"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ppma_author?post=214519"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<!-- html is corrupted -->
