Former Minister Ram Asrey Kushwaha joins Samajwadi Party
Former Uttar Pradesh minister Ram Asrey Kushwaha has entered the Samajwadi Party, prompting chief Akhilesh Yadav to state that the party will form a government following the 2027 state elections and will prioritize social‑justice policies. Yadav’s comments came as a reaction to Kushwaha’s recent affiliation with the party. The addition is viewed as a boost for the party’s outreach among OBC communities.
