Jaunpur. Former MP and strongman leader Dhananjay Singh has finally decided which party he will support in the Lok Sabha elections. He held a meeting with his supporters on Tuesday and announced his support to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and with this he is now busy in forming the BJP government. The former MP had organized a meeting with his supporters at an inter college campus in Sikra area, where it was agreed to support the BJP in the Lok Sabha elections.

He further said, “I know that the people who are with me today are inclined towards BJP. Respecting public sentiments, we have announced our support to BJP. My wife Shrikala may join BJP in the coming days. If she joins BJP, it will be her personal decision, I have no objection.”
Dhananjay Singh, who was the MP of Jaunpur, has made this announcement at a time when Prime Minister Narendra Modi is going to come here to address a public meeting just two days later on May 16.

BSP coordinator Ghanshyam Singh Kharwar had told that Dhananjay Singh, husband of BSP candidate from Jaunpur Shrikala Singh, called our coordinator and told that his wife will not contest elections from Jaunpur. You find your candidate. Voting is to be held in Jaunpur in the sixth phase.
