The sharing of 10 seats in Uttar Pradesh the place by-polls are due, are turning into one other tug-of-war between the Congress and the Samajwadi Party. The SP, which has already introduced candidates for six seats, introduced a seventh at present, and stated the Congress has agreed to contest solely two seats.
“Our settlement is ultimate with the Congress. Of the ten seats, the Congress will contest on two Khair (Aligarh) and Ghaziabad, whereas on the remaining eight,the SP will contest,” SP Spokesperson Rajendra Chowdhury was quoted as saying by information company Press Trust of India.
The Congress disagreed. The social gathering has been demanding 5 of the ten seats going to polls in November, although it’s on a significantly weak footing after its disasterous efficiency in Haryana.
State Congress chief Ajay Rai stated, “We aren’t conscious of this. As of now, we stand by our demand of 5 seats”.
The SP has already declared candidates for seven seats together with Muzaffarnagar’s Meerapur from the place it has fielded Sumbhul Rana.
The Congress needed this seat, however NDTV has confirmed that this time, SP chief Akhilesh Yadav is able to give it solely two seats — Khair and Ghaziabad.
Sources stated the SP chief has relented as a result of the social gathering is all in favour of contesting two seats in Maharashtra as a part of the Maha Vikas Aghadi Alliance.
After the Congress’s poor efficiency within the Haryana election, the SP had snubbed its request for seat sharing within the by-polls. It was not nearly Congress efficiency although. As in Madhya Pradesh, the 2 events had failed to come back to an understanding in regards to the seats in Haryana — which is likely one of the causes attributed to its defeat in each states the place it was broadly anticipated to win.
In each circumstances, state Congress leaders have been blamed – Kamal Nath in Madhya Pradesh and Bhupinder Hooda in Haryana.
Nine of the meeting seats in UP fell vacant after their MLAs have been elected as MPs within the Lok Sabha polls. Bypolls are being held within the Sisamau because of the disqualification of its MLA, Samajwadi Party’s Irfan Solanki, who was convicted in a prison case. Except Milkipur, the Election Commission has introduced polls on the remaining 9 seats.
The polling seats will likely be held on November 13.
The candidate for Meerapur, Sumbul Rana, is the daughter-in-law of former BSP MP Qadir Rana, who has now joined the Samajwadi Party. Sumbul Rana’s husband is Shah Mohammad Rana.
