Former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mulayam Singh Yadav's brother-in-law and former Samajwadi Party (SP) MLA Pramod Gupta on Thursday slammed SP chief Akhilesh Yadav and alleged that he inducted criminals and gamblers in the party.
Pramod, who joined Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) today, also accused Yadav of imprisoning Mulayam Singh Yadav and said his condition was very bad within the party at present.
"Akhilesh Yadav has imprisoned Mulayam Singh Yadav and his position is very bad in the party... Criminals and gamblers have been inducted to Samajwadi Party," Pramod told media persons before joining the ranks of the BJP.
Earlier on Wednesday, Mulayam Singh Yadav's daughter-in-law Aparna Yadav had joined BJP in the presence of Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya and BJP State president Swatantra Dev Singh.
