Lucknow, June 15

A strong buzz is doing the rounds that former Mathura Rashtriya Lok Dal MP Jayant Chaudhary, son of RLD chief Chaudhary Ajit Singh, is set to join the Uttar Pradesh Cabinet in the coming days.

This development will result in a major caste realignment, bringing in possible Jat support for the Samajwadi Party ahead of the Assembly elections in the state.

It is likely to have an impact on SP’s electoral prospects in western Uttar Pradesh where post-Muzaffarnagar riots, it can no longer depend on the support of the minority community.

The minority voters are angry with the Akhilesh Yadav government for not decisively addressing issues targeting them like the Muzaffarnagar riots, “ghar vapsi”, “love jihad”, Dadri and the dread of arrests in fake cow slaughter cases and now, the Kairana migration.
