Before the lok sabha elections, congress has suffered a big setback in Uttar Pradesh. Former congress mp Rajesh Mishra has left the party and joined BJP. The reason behind his leaving congress is believed to be his demand for ticket and UP congress President ajay Rai. Former mp Rajesh Mishra was angry with ajay Rai becoming the state president and along with this he was demanding a ticket from bhadohi seat of UP. Rajesh Mishra had contested the last lok sabha elections from Salempur on congress ticket and this time he was seeking ticket from bhadohi in alliance.
However, bhadohi seat is not part of congress in the I.N.D.I.A alliance of UP. Now it remains to be seen whether after joining bjp, bjp will contest elections by giving ticket to Rajesh Mishra from bhadohi or will it show confidence in some other candidate. In the 2019 elections, bjp had captured bhadohi seat, Rameshchand Bind has contested from here on bjp ticket.
Let us tell you that Rajesh Mishra left the congress and joined the bjp in the presence of the party's national general secretaries Arun Singh, ravi shankar prasad and Anil Baluni at the bjp national headquarters. Whereas former mp Rajesh Mishra, after joining bjp, said that he had started politics with congress and will end his politics with BJP. Along with this, Rajesh Mishra claimed that in the upcoming lok sabha elections, he will make efforts to ensure that whoever contests from the opposition in varanasi parliamentary constituency against prime minister Narendra Modi is not able to get even an agent at the booth.
