Accusing RLD supremo Ajit Singh of "cheating" people from the Jat community, party MP from Amroha Devendra Nagpal today announced to part ways and expressed his intention of joining SP.
"I am anguished with the anti-farmer and anti-worker policy of Chaudhary Ajit Singh. He cheated Jats in the name of getting them reservation," Nagpal alleged in a statement issued here.
He alleged that at the time when Ajit was being inducted in the Union ministry, he instead of getting reservation to Jats became Aviation Minister.
"Anguished with the anti-farmer, worker and Jat policies of the party, I will soon part ways with the RLD," he said.
Nagpal said that impressed with the working of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, he has decided to join SP.
"I will soon make a announcement in this regard," he said.
The MP claimed that under the leadership of SP supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav, the party was heading towards Delhi and would win atleast 50-60 seats in the Lok Sabha elections.
