"Why Remember Me Today?" Uttar Pradesh Minister To NDTV On Why He Quit | Read

Swami Prasad Maurya, a senior BJP leader who quit as Uttar Pradesh minister and joined the Samajwadi Party of Akhilesh Yadav, displayed confidence that for the third time in a row he may join the winning side just before elections. Why did he switch parties only before polls? "Until I quit the BSP, it was the no 1 party in UP. Now it is nowhere. When I joined the BJP, it came out of 14 years of "banwaas (exile)" and formed a majority government," Mr Maurya told NDTV.
