BSP leader and Lok Sabhཧa member Malook Nagar 🅺on Thursday joined the Rashtriya Lok Dal led by Jayant Chaudhary.
Nagar, theꩲ Lok Sabha member from Bijnor in western Uttar Pradesh, quit the BSP and announced that he would campaign for the RLD candidates in the region.
Nagar had won the 2019 Lok Sabha elections🔯 as a candidate of the BSP which was then in alliance with the RLD and Samajwadi Party.
"This is the first time in the last 39 years that I am neither contesting the election of MP nor ML꧒A, but I want to work for the country, hence today I have decided to leave the BSP. This is a well thought out decision," he said.
Chaudhary welcomed Nagar in the RLD by tying a green thread, symbolising farmers and their link to the fields, on his wrist. Chaudhary said Nagar will campaign for the RLD candidates in western Uttar Pradesh and strengthen the NDA in the region.
RLD is part of the BJP-led NDA coalition.
RL𒀰D has fielded Chandan Chauhan from Bijnor, which was allotted to the party in the seat-shar✤ing arrangement with the BJP.
