Last month, Samajwadi Party MLA from Etah Assembly constituency quit the party after he was denied ticket while hitting out at SP general secretary Ramgopal Yadav, calling him a "traitor".
Ashu Yadav announced his resignation and said he will contest the upcoming Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections independently.
In Uttar Pradesh, election campaign for the first and second phase is in full swing where election will be held on 11th and 15th of this month.
