After the Uttar Pradesh cabinet minister and BJP leader Dara Singh Chauhan quit his post. And released the statement which reads, "Hon'ble Governor Raj Bhavan, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh. In the cabinet of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath ji, I worked wholeheartedly for the betterment of my department as the Minister of Forest, Environment and Animal Horticulture, but along with the grossly neglectful attitude of the government to the backward, deprived, dalits, farmers and unemployed youth. I resign from the Uttar Pradesh cabinet, being hurt by the play being played with the reservation of backwards and dalits."

Now, Samajwadi chief Akhilesh Yadav took his Twitter account and post the registrations letter of the UP cabinet today, and wrote: “Hearty welcome and greetings to Shri Dara Singh Chouhan ji, the relentless fighter of the struggle for ‘social justice’! The SP and its allies will unite and take forward the movement of equality … Eliminate discrimination! This is our collective resolve! Respect everyone~ space for everyone!”

This step of SP chief has left everyone in confusion, many assuming that  Dara Singh Chauhan could join the Samajwadi Party. Before him, Swami Prasad Maurya left the BJP and joined Akhilesh Yadav's, Samajwadi Party for the assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh. Now former BJP leader stated his joining in Akhilesh Yadav's Samajwadi Party.

Meanwhile, the Election Commission of India announced the voting dates for the Assembly polls of Uttar Pradesh. The UP will hold elections in  7 phases to elect 403 members of the Legislative Assembly in the state. The seven-phase election in Uttar Pradesh will be held on February 10, 14, 20, 23, 27, and March 3 and 7.
