Lucknow, March 16
Janata Dal-Secular (JD-S) leader Danish Ali on Saturday joined the Mayawati-led Bahujan Samaj Party, ahead of the coming Lok Sabha elections.
Ali joined the BSP in the presence of the party's national general secretary Satish Mishra at the BSP office here.
According to BSP sources, Ali, who was considered as a top leader in former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda’s party, is likely to contest from Amroha in western Uttar Pradesh.
The BSP, which came out empty handed in the 2014 Lok Sabha polls, is contesting the general elections this time in the state in alliance with the Samajwadi Party and the Rashtriya Lok Dal.
The BJP-led NDA alliance had won 73 out of 80 seats in the state in 2014.
The seven-phased Lok Sabha elections is scheduled from April 11-May 19. The counting of votes will take place on May 23. IANS
