All six MLAs of Mayawati's Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) in Rajasthan joined the state's ruling Congress late on Monday, in a huge setback to the former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister. The BSP's Rajendra Gudd, Jogendra Singh Awana, Wajib Ali, Lakhan Singh Meena, Sandeep Yadav and Deepchand Kheria have joined the Congress, taking its tally to 106 in the 200-member assembly. The move is significant just two months ahead of local body elections due in November.
