According to reports, he had quit the party saying it failed to protect the interest of the lawyer community in Uttar Pradesh

Bhatia, who was considered very close to Mulayam Singh Yadav, is the son of late Virendra Bhatia, UP's former advocate general and also a Rajya Sabha member.

He was party's face in public and television debates and had hailed the alliance with the Congress in one of his interviews before UP elections.
