Uttar Pradesh Minister OP Rajbhar said a major split will happen within Akhilesh Yadav's Samajwadi Party. Drawing parallels with rebellion in TMC and Shiv Sena (UBT), he said, "Forget Maharashtra and Bengal. Entire SP is sitting ready to join...BJP." He claimed that SP MP Ram Gopal Yadav submitted a letter to Home Minister Amit Shah, but didn't disclose its contents.
