Is the board being laid for Shivpal Singh Yadav in Azamgarh?

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is once again looking very aggressive about the political distance between the socialist uncle-nephew. Yogi is repeatedly making uncle Shivpal Yadav realize that nephew Akhilesh is humiliating him on every occasion. This scene was seen several times during the Vidhan Sabha session. Due to which Shivpal Yadav and Akhilesh looked very uncomfortable. Yogi does not leave any chance to taunt Shivpal and nephew Akhilesh since 2017. Although Yogi Adityanath is not the only one who taunts the uncle-nephew, many other BJP leaders also target the uncle-nephew from time to time, but the way the relationship between Shivpal and Akhilesh is strained at this time The real reason for this is the general elections to be held next year. It is being told that Shivpal can contest the general elections from Azamgarh seat in 2024 elections. Local leaders have agreed to his name. It is believed that a formal announcement can be made soon from the party regarding this. In fact, recently the national president of the Samajwadi Party, Akhilesh Yadav had called a meeting of all party cell presidents, MLAs and office bearers in Azamgarh. After this the discussion intensified that Shivpal can contest from Azamgarh. In this meeting, a proposal was also made to make party general secretary Shivpal Singh Yadav a candidate. Everyone supported this. Sources tell that a strategy has also been prepared regarding this.

The buzz is that SP chief Akhilesh Yadav wants Shivpal Yadav to contest from Azamgarh Lok Sabha seat. That’s why BJP MP Dinesh Lal Yadav Nirhua has started saying as soon as such news came to the fore that our uncle Shivpal Yadav ji, Akhilesh ji, Mahendra hai, Dharmendra hai, all these people should unite I want to tell only one thing that Azamgarh has rejected you. Now, if you make the mistake of coming here, then Azamgarh will show you the result, the reason for this is that Azamgarh has given you a chance of five years. If you could not do one work for four years, then the people here gave a chance to Nirhua for one year and in one year, we brought 50 years of work and showed it.

Nirhua said that I want to tell the SP that not just for one year, but for the next 25 years i.e. for the whole Amritkal, he has resolved to make the country number one by staying in Azamgarh, as PM Modi has resolved to make the country number one, as CM Yogi has resolved to make UP number one. Similarly, Nirhua has taken a pledge to make Azamgarh number one and I will fulfill this resolution. In fact, SP leader Akhilesh Yadav had won the Azamgarh Lok Sabha seat in the 2019 elections, but he resigned from this seat after winning the UP assembly elections. After the resignation of Akhilesh Yadav, by-elections were held in Azamgarh, despite being an SP stronghold, BJP’s Dinesh Lal Yadav won the by-election in this seat. Nirhua had defeated SP’s Dharmendra Yadav in the Lok Sabha by-election. In such a situation, the challenge before the SP is to capture this seat again. The party is looking for such a face who can tie the local leaders together and win the elections. For the last few days, intense discussions are going on about the name of Shivpal on this seat. Currently, Shivpal is the MLA from Jaswantnagar assembly seat in Etawah district. Mulayam Singh Yadav won this seat in 2014.
