Saheb Singh, Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) spokesman and former MLA joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Friday, according to some sources.
The source added that several others from the RLD, especially from western Uttar Pradesh also joined the BJP in the presence of state BJP chief Mahendra Nath Pandey.
Ahead of Kairana Lok Sabha by-election of May 28, the move is seen as an attempt by the ruling saffron party to strengthen the party’s hold.
The seat fell vacant after the demise of then in-power BJP MP Hukum Singh. He is survived by his daughter, who has been fielded by the BJP.
Rashtriya Lok Dal’s lone legislator Mahendra Singh has already joined the BJP.
