SP announces names for 6 LS seats, Mulayam to contest from Mainpuri
In the run up to the 2019 Lok Sabha general elections, the Samajwadi Party announced its first batch of six candidates for Uttar Pradesh on Friday
First list of 6 candidates includes Kamlesh Katheria from Etahwah, Shabbir Valmiki from Behraich and Bhai Lal from Robertsganj.
​Lucknow: In the run up to the 2019 Lok Sabha general elections, the Samajwadi Party announced its first batch of six candidates for Uttar Pradesh on Friday.
Samajwadi Party revealed that party founder Mulayam Singh Yadav will contest from Mainpuri.
In addition to Mulayam Singh Yadav, SP will also field family members of Mulayam Singh Yadav like nephew Dharmendra Yadav from Badaun and his brother and senior SP leader Ram Gopal Yadav's son Akshay Yadav from Firozabad.
Samajwadi Party’s decision to release its first list comes after the Congress released its first list for Lok Sabha polls on Thursday that included contenders for 11 seats in UP, including Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi from their respective constituencies of Rae Bareli and Amethi.
The first list of six candidates of the Samajwadi Party also includes Kamlesh Katheria from Etahwah, Shabbir Valmiki from Behraich and Bhai Lal from Robertsganj.
Samajwadi Party President Akhilesh Yadav in multiple interviews repeatedly stressed that opposition unity was in tact and that the Congress continued to be part of their (SP-BSP) alliance with an allotment of two seats.
However, this statement seemed contrary to Congress' designs in Uttar Pradesh after the party released its first list of Lok Sabha candidates on Thursday that included 11 contenders from UP alone.
