Swami also resigned from the membership of the State Legislative council as a SP member with immediate effect.
Maurya has launched the name and flag of the new party, according to his post on social media.
The roots of Brahminism are very deep and the reason for all the disparity is also Brahminism itself, says SP veteran.
Samajwadi Party President Akhilesh Yadav alleged that BJP was involved in all such incidents.
Maurya, who joined the Samajwadi Party just before last year's assembly elections, may now return to the BJP. But it would not be so easy after Maurya's statement on Ramcharitmanas.
BSP supremo Mayawati slammed SP leader Swami Prasad Maurya, saying it is a purely political statement only giving rise to new controversies.
The party MLC Swami Prasad Maurya, who is in the limelight for his demand to ban Ramcharitramanas, has also been appointed as a General Secretary.
