Mainpuri (Uttar Pradesh) [India], October 25 (ANI): As the bypolls to nine assembly constituencies in Uttar Pradesh draw nearer, Samajwadi Party (SP) chief and MP Akhilesh Yadav on Friday asserted that his party’s candidate Tej Pratap Yadav will emerge victorious from Karhal assembly constituency and said that there will be a historic result in favour of the Samajwadi Party in the upcoming election.
Speaking to media persons, Samajwadi Party chief and MP Akhilesh Yadav said, “The people of Karhal will not only support Tej Pratap ji in this election but also in the 2027 elections; there will be a historic result in favour of the Samajwadi Party. BJP will face a historic defeat. BJP people only create hype; they created hype in the Lok Sabha elections as well but they were not successful… What can you expect from a government that did not make any arrangements?”
Samajwadi Party candidate Tej Pratap Yadav is party’s candidate from Karhal assembly constituency, where the bypoll is due on November 13.
The poll body has announced by-polls for nine of the 10 vacant assembly seats in Uttar Pradesh on November 13, except Milkipur of Ayodhya district.
The Uttar Pradesh by-polls are slated to be held on nine assembly seats, including Meerapur, Kundarki, Ghaziabad, Khair, Karhal, Phulpur, and Katehari.
Earlier in a post on X, SP chief highlighted that the INDIA bloc candidates would be contesting the bypolls under his party’s symbol.
“It is not about seats but about winning. Under this strategy, the joint candidates of ‘India Alliance’ will contest all 9 seats on the Samajwadi Party’s election symbol, ‘cycle’. Congress and the Samajwadi Party are united and standing shoulder to shoulder for a big victory. India Alliance is going to write a new chapter of victory in this by-election,” read the post on X.
Meanwhile, the Congress party has announced that it has decided not to field candidates in the nine assembly seats in Uttar Pradesh where bypolls are being held, said Congress in-charge Avinash Pandey on Thursday.
Addressing a press conference here, Avinash Pandey said, “The Congress has decided not to field candidates in the upcoming Uttar Pradesh bypolls and has announced its support for the Samajwadi Party (SP) in UP.”
The Congress State in-charge said, “This press conference is an important notice for Uttar Pradesh, that has been the center of attention in the country’s politics. This is also regarding the role of Congress in the by-elections to be held there.”
He further said, “In the recent Lok Sabha elections, the people of UP gave a befitting reply to them. Today, with values to protect and save the Constitution, Rahul Gandhi is touring the country and working to give justice to every section of society.”
