Talking to news agency ANI, Agrawal said that he was not going anywhere and he was with SP president Akhilesh Yadav.


News of me joining the BJP is baseless. I am with Akhilesh Yadav and my aim is to finish BJP in Uttar Pradesh.


The seven-phased Uttar Pradesh Assembly Elections will start from February 11 and will end on March 8.  


In the midst of the bitter feud in the Yadav clan, Agrawal was expelled by SP veteran Mulayam Singh Yadav earlier this month. He, however, later rejected his expulsion from the party by Mulayam Singh Yadav. "Netaji's (Mulayam) step is totally unconstitutional. He has lost the power to expel any one from the party as our national president is now Akhilesh Yadav," Agrawal had said.
