As the political arena heats up in Uttar Pradesh, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav is set to file his nomination from the Kannauj Lok Sabha constituency today. However, amidst the electoral fervor, BJP’s Subrata Pathak has sparked controversy by likening the electoral contest to an “India vs Pakistan” cricket match.
Pathak, the incumbent BJP MP from Kannauj, drew parallels between the electoral battle and cricket rivalry, stating, “If the match had been with Tej Pratap it would have been India vs Japan’s cricket match. Now the match would be like India vs Pakistan (Subrata Pathak against Akhilesh Yadav).” The remark underscores the intensifying competition between the two prominent political parties in the region.
In the 2019 general elections, BJP’s Subrata Pathak emerged victorious, defeating Akhilesh Yadav’s wife, Dimple Yadav, from the Kannauj constituency. Now, with Yadav’s decision to contest from Kannauj once again, the electoral landscape is poised for another showdown between the political heavyweights.
Ahead of Yadav’s nomination filing, the Samajwadi Party announced his candidature, affirming its commitment to securing victory in the upcoming elections. Yadav expressed confidence in the party’s prospects, asserting that the electorate is poised to deliver a resounding mandate in favor of the Samajwadi Party.
The decision to field Akhilesh Yadav comes in the wake of the party’s nomination of Tej Pratap Yadav, his nephew, as a candidate from Kannauj. Tej Pratap, a prominent member of the Samajwadi Party and son-in-law of Lalu Prasad Yadav, brings his own political acumen to the electoral fray.
Akhilesh Yadav’s formidable track record in Kannauj, having secured victory thrice in previous elections, underscores his enduring popularity and strong grassroots support in the region. His decision to contest signifies the party’s strategic move to consolidate its electoral base and mount a formidable challenge to its political adversaries.
As the political drama unfolds in Uttar Pradesh, all eyes are on the electoral battleground of Kannauj, where the stage is set for a high-stakes electoral showdown reminiscent of an intense cricket match between arch-rivals. With the filing of nominations today, the electoral contest in Kannauj promises to be a riveting spectacle, shaping the political landscape of Uttar Pradesh in the days to come.
