UP Polls 2022: Before the 2022 Uttar Pradesh assembly elections, once again Mulayam Singh Yadav’s family is in the headlines. This time the reason for coming into the limelight is not Shivpal, uncle of SP supremo Akhilesh Yadav, but Aparna Yadav, wife of younger brother. Aparna Yadav has joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). During this, UP BJP President Swatantra Dev Singh and Deputy CM Keshav Prasad Maurya were present.
Meanwhile, it has also been indicated by the BJP that the BJP has established its roots within the Yadav clan. But the question arises whether BJP will benefit from Aparna Yadav’s charisma or will SP suffer. The idea of this will be known only on March 10. There is a discussion that Aparna can get a ticket from Lucknow Cantt. Where Rita Bahuguna Joshi wanted a ticket for her son.
In fact, if the politics of Uttar Pradesh is seen through a political lens, then joining BJP is not a shocking decision. Everyone knew that sooner or later Aparna may join BJP. In the last 5 years, he had increased his closeness with the CM of the state, Yogi Adityanath. By donating Rs 11 lakh to the Ram temple, she had expressed that she is not going to follow the path of SP.
If we talk about perception in this, then it is being said that the saffron party has got an edge. BJP leaders say that whether Mulayam Singh’s younger daughter-in-law or Swami Prasad Maurya’s daughter both feel safe in BJP. While SP chief Akhilesh Yadav had inducted three ministers of the ruling party in his clan a week ago, a message was sent that OBC leaders were neglected in the BJP. SP has tried to create a narrative that backwards are leaving BJP.
Now with Aparna Yadav joining BJP, a message of division is being sent in the Yadav clan. These conditions are becoming similar to what happened in the 2017 Vidhan Sabha elections. During that time the quarrel between Akhilesh Yadav and his uncle Shivpal had come to the fore. With Shivpal leaving the SP, the rift between uncle and nephew increased. BJP took full advantage of this.

Although it is also being said that there was no scope for Aparna Yadav to get a ticket from Akhilesh, so Aparna turned to BJP. It is being told that Akhilesh did not want to give ticket to Aparna even in the last assembly elections, but after the intervention of Mulayam Singh, he got the ticket from Lucknow. However, Aparna had to face defeat in this election. BJP can only get the benefit of perception in that Yadav has been successful in breaking into the family. However, Aparna has little effect on Yadav vote.
Before Aparna joined BJP, it was being discussed loudly that Akhilesh’s uncle Shivpal might join BJP. When this news started floating in the media, Shivpal himself had to explain and he said that my claim of joining BJP is completely baseless. I am with Samajwadi Party alliance under the leadership of Shri Akhilesh Yadav. Shivpal said that he will overthrow the BJP government in the state and form a coalition government of Samajwadi Party.
On the other hand, Akhilesh has congratulated Aparna on joining BJP and said that I am happy that the socialist ideology is expanding. I hope our ideology will reach there and work to save the constitution and democracy. SP chief Akhilesh Yadav also told that Netaji (Mulayam Singh Yadav) explained a lot to him about the advantages and disadvantages of joining BJP, but in vain.
