Many parties including bjp, Samajwadi party and BSP have announced their candidates for the by-elections to be held on 9 assembly seats of Uttar Pradesh. In this by-election, the Karhal seat of Mainpuri is being discussed the most, because here uncle and nephew are face to face. SP chief akhilesh yadav has given ticket to his nephew Tej Pratap Yadav on this seat, while bjp has fielded Akhilesh's brother-in-law.
Even before the election to be held on Karhal seat, which is called the stronghold of SP, akhilesh yadav has announced the result of this seat. SP mp akhilesh yadav said, "The people of Karhal are in favor of Tej Pratap not only in this election but also in the 2027 elections. There will be a historic result in favor of Samajwadi party, bjp will have a historic defeat. bjp people only create hype, they created hype in the lok sabha elections too but they did not succeed. What can you expect from a government that did not make any arrangements?"
The BJP's decision to field Anujesh Yadav has made the contest tough with SP's Tej Pratap Yadav. Anujesh Yadav is Mulayam Singh Yadav's nephew and brother-in-law of SP mp from Azamgarh dharmendra Yadav. Political observers see the by-election as a big family affair between two relatives of the Yadav family, with Tej Pratap representing the SP's long-standing hold on the Karhal seat, while Anujesh Yadav aims to make inroads with the support of the BJP.
Who is bjp candidate Anujesh Yadav?
Anujesh Yadav hails from Bharoul village in firozabad district and is married to sandhya Yadav, a former Zila Pramukh of Mainpuri's Zila Panchayat, who has been a prominent supporter of the bjp, his family ties to the Yadav family add a layer of complexity to the by-election, as he is the 'paternal uncle' of SP candidate Tej Pratap Yadav.
