Amid continued changing of candidates, SP chief Akhilesh is yet to begin campaign in western Uttar Pradesh, even as just two weeks are left for last day of canvassing.
As the political heat rises with first phase of Lok Sabha polls around the corner, the Samajwadi Party seems to be revamping its game.
The Akhilesh Yadav-led party has now changed its Baghpat candidate. Around 10 Uttar Pradesh candidates have been changed by SP so far, including in Meerut where BJP has fielded ‘face of Lord Ram’ — Arun Govil. The party has been making changes ever since its main rival, the Bharatiya Janata Party, announced their candidates.
Today (April 4) is the last day of nominations for phase two polling. And in Uttar Pradesh, the Samajwadi Party is struggling to finalise its candidates. Rumours suggest that the tussle is still on in Meerut and the Akhilesh Yadav-led party may change its candidate again on the seat at the last moment.
Badaun seat is also under lens as Akhilesh’s uncle Shivpal Yadav wants his son to contest instead of him. Earlier, Moradabad and Rampur seats saw drama.
Amid continued changing of candidates, SP chief Akhilesh is yet to begin campaign in western Uttar Pradesh, even as just two weeks are left for last day of canvassing.
Seats where SP has changed candidates are Moradabad, Rampur, Baghpat, Meerut, Bijnor, Gautam Budh Nagar (candidate changed twice) and Badaun.
