We're happy that when last time Swami Prasad Maurya came together, many people also came along and made the fight for our party easier," the SP chief said.

"Our party is moving forward by taking people together," he added.

His statements come on a day when Cabinet Minister in the Yogi Adityanath government Dara Singh Chauhan today resigned from his position citing neglect of Dalits, farmers, and the state of unemployment by the government. This comes a day after cabinet minister Swami Prasad Maurya resigned from his position in the government after which three MLAs followed suit and resigned from the party.

SP president Akhilesh Yadav, however, welcomed Dara Singh Chauhan in the party-fold.

"Hearty welcome and greetings to Shri Dara Singh Chauhan ji, the relentless fighter of the struggle for social justice. The SP and its allies will unite and take the movement of equality to its height... eliminate discrimination! It is our collective resolve! Respect everyone -- space for everyone," Yadav tweeted in Hindi.
