SP changes two MLC candidates in UP

Lucknow, Oct 3 (UNI) Samajwadi Party has replaced new entrants as party candidates for the Biennial Uttar Pradesh Legislative Council elections on Saturday.
SP President Akhilesh Yadav announced the changes at the state party headquarters before the media.
SP changes two MLC candidates, Dr Akash Agarwal from Agra and Sanjayan Tripathi from Gorakhpur-Faizabad. Previously, the SP had announced Shashank Yadav for the Agra Graduate constituency and Kamlesh Yadav for the Gorakhpur-Faizabad Teacher constituency.
Sanjayan Tripathi was seeking a BJP ticket for the Gorakhpur-Faizabad seat, but the party fielded sitting MLC Dhruv Kumar Tripathi for this seat.
After being denied a ticket, Sanjayan Tripathi announced his intention to contest as an independent. But now he has joined the SP and got the ticket. He was the runner-up in the last election.
Voting on 11 seats of the state Legislative Council will be held on October 23 and October 6 is the last date for filing nominations.
Meanwhile, Akhilesh Yadav, while talking to reporters, said that in 2024, the Samajwadi Party-India alliance defeated the BJP. This time, the BJP will be invincible against the strength of the PDA.
"The Samajwadi Party's PDA is filled with love, compassion, and a sense of belonging. The Samajwadi Party stands with the grieving, the oppressed, and the humiliated. The BJP has insulted, exploited, and betrayed every segment of society," he alleged.
He said that the new generation and Gen-Z lack jobs and employment. Unemployment is rising. The new generation is angry with the BJP, and it is destined to be wiped out in Uttar Pradesh.
He said that the BJP can never compete with the development work of the Samajwadi Party. UNI MBD SAS
