In a major blow to the Congress party, former party leader and Saharanpur MP Rasheed Masood joined the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) on Thursday.
Masood was the first MP to lose his seat after he was found guilty in a criminal case after the Supreme Court ruled that lawmakers stood immediately disqualified if they were convicted for offenses that carried a sentence of more than two years.
Masood was held guilty in a case of corruption and other offences in September 2013.
