Danish Ali, general secretary of HD Deve Gowda's Janata Dal-Secular, joined former Uttar Pradesh chief minister Mayawati's Bahujan Samaj Party in Lucknow today. 

He was welcomed in the party by senior BSP leader Satish Chandra Mishra. 

Talking about his move to quit JD-S, Ali said that the party that rules in Karnataka didn't have a large organisational structure in Uttar Pradesh, which sends most lawmakers to parliament in the country.

"The JD-S doesn't have a large organisational structure in UP. Despite all my efforts I could not have raised it (JDS) in my 'janmabhoomi, my 'karmabhoomi'....The way in which there is a threat to constitution today, it has become essential to use our energy with a strong leadership," he said in a statement.

He further said," I never asked for anything even when I was in the JD-S, it was upto HD Deve Gowda to decide what work to assign me. I have come here after taking the blessings and permission of Deve Gowda. I will work wherever Behenji assigns me."
