Lucknow, March 22 (IANS): In a jolt to the Samajwadi Party and the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, three of their leaders switched over to the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) here in Uttar Pradesh on Friday.

Former MP Rajnarayan Budholiya aka Rajju Maharaj joined the BJP at its party office here in the presence of BJP state unit chief Mahendra Nath Pandey.

Besides Budholiya, the BSP's 2014 Lok Sabha candidate from Machhlishahr, Bholanath P. Saroj, and former state Minister Satish Palalso too joined the saffron party.

All three were said to be unhappy over the SP-BSP alliance, according to their aides. The three leaders were also denied ticket for the Lok Sabha polls.
