As per the sources, the expelled leaders might join Samajwadi Party (SP).
Meanwhile, Ram Prasad Chaudhary, a former MLA and MP said that he had not yet made up his mind about it.
“I do not know why the party president Mayawati is upset with me. I resigned from the party on Saturday but soon after, I was served with an expulsion notice. I will continue in politics but have not decided yet which party to join,” he said.
Recently, the former BSP MLC KK Gautam also joined BSP.
