Former Uttar Pradesh Director General of Police Brijlal would start his political innings from Wednesday when he is set to join BJP, sources said. Brijlal who retired from Indian Police Services in November last, would join the BJP in presence of party’s Uttar Pradesh in-charge Om Mathur here at the party office. The former DGP, who was once close to Bahujan Samaj Party president Mayawati, has confirmed here about his new political innings.
Brijlal, a 1977 batch IPS officer, was DGP of the state from October, 2011 during the end of the BSP regime. He was removed from the post of DGP after Akhilesh Yadav became Chief Minister on March 15, 2012. BJP spokesperson Vijay Bahadur Pathak said, “it is just the beginning. Many more senior political leaders and officers would join the party before the 2017 assembly elections.”
