Expressing faith in the BJP and "inspired" by the development plank of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, they said they had come to the party fold without any precondition and to contribute to the strengthening of the party in the state.

Wife of sitting NCP legislator and former UP minister Fateh Bahadur Singh and Gorakhpur Zila Panchayat chairman Sadhna Singh and their son Kunwar Vishwan Singh also joined the BJP.
