Kashyap has not formally announced his resignation from the BJP.
“Those who openly opposed me and worked to defeat me in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, if they are made to sit in the front row of the party, it will certainly hurt.
The OBC leader was hopeful of securing a Rajya Sabha ticket but was not included in the list, according to sources. When the party takes no action against such people and does not even express concern, it becomes natural for a self-respecting person like me to say ‘Tata Bye-Bye’,” he said. Asked whether he would join the SP, the BJP leader, who had been a two-time MP from Aonla, said, “Where my next political destination will be, everyone will know very soon. “The formal announcement about joining a new party will be made only after taking the opinion of workers and supporters,” he said.
The BJP has fielded state Cabinet minister Dharampal Singh and Shruti Gangwar, daughter of former Union minister and former Jharkhand governor Santosh Gangwar, from Bareilly district. LUCKNOW: Former Uttar Pradesh minister Dharmendra Kumar Kashyap on Wednesday said he would make a formal announcement about joining a new party after discussions with his supporters.
He said meetings of his supporters were being convened not only in Aonla but across Bareilly district and the Bareilly division.
