The Samajwadi Party MLA from Etah Assembly constituency today quit the party after he was denied the ticket this time and hit out at SP general secretary Ramgopal Yadav, calling him a "traitor".
Ashu Yadav announced his resignation here and said that he will contest the upcoming Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections independently.
He alleged that the party founder Mulayam Singh Yadav, and UP minister Azam Khan favoured giving the ticket to him but Ramgopal did not let that happen.
Yadav lashed out at Ramgopal and called him a "gaddar" (traitor) who has damaged the party.
