Categories: Election 2022
Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav has decided to be in the fray in the upcoming Uttar Pradesh Assembly Elections, sources in the party have said. This would be his first state election. Even though the seat from where he would contest is yet to be known, the names of Azamgarh and Etawah are doing the rounds. Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya also took a jibe at the Samajwadi Party chief and said he was afraid to contest the assembly elections and took a long time to find a safe place to contest from. He also asked Akhilesh Yadav to list out the development done in the state between 2012 and 2017. He said the former UP CM cannot compete with the development work done by the BJP in the state.
