In a jolt to the BJP ahead of the Uttar Pradesh assembly polls, Minister Swami Prasad Maurya on Tuesday resigned from the state cabinet.
He is likely to join the Akhilesh Yadav-led Samajwadi Party (SP).
Informing about his decision, Maurya said in a tweet in Hindi, ''Due to the attitude of gross neglect towards Dalits, backwards, farmers, unemployed youth and small and medium-sized traders, I am resigning from the council of ministers of Yogi (Adityanath) of UP.'' Yadav shared a photo of him with Maurya on Twitter, and welcomed him into the SP fold.
