Aparna Yadav applied tilak on Yogi Adityanath's forehead with her daughter after the BJP's thumping victory in UP.
Aparna Yadav, who is married to Mulayam Singh Yadav's younger son Prateek Yadav, had joined the BJP on January 19, ahead of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections.
Akhilesh Yadav also said he would take a decision on contesting the assembly elections after consulting the people of Azamgarh who had sent him to the Lok Sabha.
Aparna Yadav had contested the Uttar Pradesh elections in 2017 as a Samajwadi Party candidate from Lucknow Cantt but lost to BJP's Rita Bahuguna Joshi.
Aparna Yadav, who is married to Mulayam and Sadhna Gupta’s son Prateek, comes from a Thakur-Bisht background, just like Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
This comes as a major set-back for Samajwadi Party, which has been campaigning hard against the ruling party in Uttar Pradesh, under the leadership of Aparna's brother-in-law, Akhilesh Yadav.
The move may put the SP in an embarrassing situation ahead of the state assembly polls, but it is unlikely to have any political repercussions.
Ruling Samajwadi Party is facing a tough battle as it tries to retain the seven Assembly seats it had won last time out of nine in Uttar Pradesh capital, while BJP and BSP queer the pitch.
