In a new twist to the UP elections, Auraiya police have rejected Riya Shakya’s claim that her father and BJP lawmaker Vinay Shakya had been kidnapped. According to her, his uncle Devesh and his grandmother took him to Lucknow in order to force him to join the Samajwadi party. Speaking to Twitter on Tuesday, Auraiya SP Abhishek Verma revealed that he spoke to the BJP chief who assured him he was safe and at his Etawah residence. According to the IPS officer, Riya Shakya’s complaint was influenced by a family dispute.

Auraiya SP Abhishek Verma noted, “Today, police found a viral video on social media in which MP Vinay Shakya’s daughter Riya Shakya claimed MP Vinay Shakya was forcibly taken to Lucknow by his brother Devesh Shakya and their mother. Police have investigated this matter. I personally spoke to the MP via video call and it was discovered that he was with family members at his Etawah residence in Shanti settlement.

“His security personnel, that is to say two police officers, were also present there. A deputy non-commissioned SP officer is present at his residence in Etawah. He said the lawmaker is safe and at home. The video on social networks is unfounded, ”he added. . According to reports, 4 BJP deputies close to Swami Prasad Maurya-Shakya, Roshan Lal Verma, Brijesh Prajapati and Bhagwati Sagar have also resigned and are likely to join the SP.

A prominent CBO leader Swami Prasad Maurya joined the Saffron Party in the presence of then BJP President Amit Shah on August 8, 2016, after serving at BSP for two decades. This was seen as a big boost to the BJP ahead of the 2017 UP Assembly polls due to being the Leader of the Opposition from 2012 to 2016. After the BJP swept the elections by winning 312 seats in the House of 403 Members, Maurya was immediately inducted into the UP Council of Ministers.

In the resignation letter sent to Governor Anandiben Patel on Tuesday, Swami Prasad Maurya wrote: “Sir, in the cabinet of the Honorable Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath Ji, as Minister of Labor, Employment and Coordination, I fulfilled my responsibilities with the greatest attention. despite unfavorable circumstances and a different ideology. But I am resigning from the Cabinet of Uttar Pradesh due to the attitude of gross neglect towards the Dalits, the backward classes, the farmers, the unemployed youth and the traders of the small and medium enterprises. ”Later, the head of the SP Akhilesh Yadav welcomed him into the fold of the party.
