In a major setback to the BJP ahead of Uttar Pradesh elections next year, Swami Prasad Maurya on Tuesday resigned from the Yogi Adityanath-led cabinet.

“I worked with dedication in the Yogi Adityanath cabinet despite a conflicting ideology and circumstances. I resign from the Yogi cabinet of Uttar Pradesh due to the attitude of gross neglect towards Dalits, OBCs, farmers, unemployed youth and small, and medium businessmen,” Maurya, a five-term MLA, said in his resignation letter addressed to Uttar Pradesh Governor Anandiben Patel.

Maurya, who was the Labor, Employment, Coordination Minister in the UP government, is likely to join the Samajwadi Party.

Hailing from the dominant OBC (Other Backward Classes), Maurya had quit Mayawati’s Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) in 2016 and joined the BJP ahead of the 2017 assembly elections.

He represents the Padrauna constituency of Uttar Pradesh. His daughter Sanghmitra Maurya is a BJP MP and represents Badaun in Lok Sabha.
