LUCKNOW: Those looking to make a profit will leave, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav said on Tuesday as the party's chief whip in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly quit while voting was underway for 10 Rajya Sabha seats from the state.
Action will be taken against such MLAs, Yadav asserted. The jolt to the principal opposition party in the state came a day after eight MLAs skipped a meeting called by him, raising concerns about cross-voting by some SP legislators.
Speaking to reporters at the Assembly before casting his vote, Yadav alleged that the ruling BJP would resort to any means to win elections.
