Pradhan, a former Union Minister of State and BJP MP, called it "ghar wapsi" (returning home).

Pradhan said that he was feeling "suffocated" in the Samajwadi Party as its government had unleashed loot in Uttar Pradesh, the health services are in shambles and land and mining mafia was active.
"There is poverty all around, law and order is in shambles and and casteism has poisoned the whole politics. Only the BJP can rid the state of Uttar Pradesh from these malaise," he said.
