Notably, Joshi, former Uttar Pradesh Congress president, younger sister of Vijay Bahuguna, former Uttarakhand chief minister, was assigned the task by the Congress high command to persuade her elder brother Bahuguna not to align with the opposition BJP and return home with dignity.

In 2012, the Uttar Pradesh Congress chief Rita Bahuguna Joshi offered to resign owning moral responsibility for the poll debacle. Even in Amethi and Rae Bareli, the strongholds of Gandhi family, the results were a surprising to the party as it managed to win only two of the ten Assembly seats.

Rita Bahuguna’s father late HN Bahuguna led undivided Uttar Pradesh in the 70s and is still revered as a leader of the masses. Among the children of HN Bahuguna, the first to enter politics was Rita. It was Rita who guided Vijay’s transformation from a judge to a hard-nosed politician. Rita is said to have enjoyed a good rapport with the Congress first family.

As of now, Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP)  has inducted 10 MLAs from BSP, three from Congress and one from ruling SP and reports are saying, many more will join BJP.
