A day after skipping the first year celebrations of the Yogi Adityanath government, sulking alliance partner Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party (SBSP) on Tuesday announced its MLAs would back BJP candidates for the Rajya Sabha polls. The announcement came after party chief Om Prakash Rajbhar met BJP president Amit Shah in New Delhi.

“I have met BJP President Amit Shah, who noted points raised by me and said he will visit Lucknow on April 10 and will sit with me, BJP State president and Chief Minister [Yogi Adityanath] to get my problems redressed. We have decided to vote for the BJP in Rajya Sabha polls,” Mr. Rajbhar said.
