UP Politics: SP MLC candidates sought help from Keshav Prasad and other BJP leaders to win, wrote letter

SP candidates Ram Jatan Rajbhar and Ramkaran Nirmal, Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya, who comes from backward classes in the government, senior leader of BJP’s ally Apna Dal (Sonelal) and state cabinet minister Ashish Patel, ministers Swatantradev Singh, Anil Rajbhar, Laxmi Narayan Chaudhary and Dinesh Khatik and Suheldev have written letters to Bharatiya Samaj Party President Omprakash Rajbhar, appealing for cooperation in the by-elections. In their appeal through the letter, both the candidates have said that the SP works for the upliftment of backward and downtrodden and promotes them, so all the assembly members should support the Samajwadi candidates in the Legislative Council by-elections.

Akhilesh Yadav is fighting to save democracy

It has been said in the appeal that there is a huge flaw in the social policy of the BJP. There is no place for the poor and Dalits in BJP. BJP has always been opposed to social justice. BJP neither takes everyone along nor wants everyone’s development. BJP is against reservation for backward classes and scheduled castes and tribes. BJP does not have complete faith in the Constitution. BJP has been working to weaken democracy at every level. It has also been said in the appeal that SP’s National President Akhilesh Yadav is fighting to save the Indian Constitution and democracy.

Said attack on BJP

In the appeal, both the SP candidates said that BJP does not miss any opportunity to attack the rights of Dalits. SP has given strength to social justice by making us a candidate for the by-election of the Legislative Council member to be held on May 29, 2023, while BJP has no respect for Dalits and backward people. It was said in the appeal that you are requested to listen to your conscience and please cast your vote in our favor.

Manvendra Singh and Padamsen Chowdhary are candidates

Significantly, both the seats of the Legislative Council have fallen vacant due to the resignation of BJP member Laxman Acharya and death of Banwarilal Dohra. Voting for both the seats will be held on May 29 and the results will be announced on the same day. BJP has fielded Manvendra Singh and Padamsen Chowdhary as candidates for these seats.
