Lucknow. Congress seems to be in a dilemma regarding the by-elections to be held in Uttar Pradesh. Congress claims that it wanted to contest elections on five seats along with SP, but SP left only two seats for it. After this, there is discussion that Congress seems to be moving towards the decision of not contesting the by-elections. Due to this, if Congress does not contest on both the seats held by it in the by-elections on nine assembly seats, SP can field its candidates on two seats held by Congress as well. SP’s view is clear that while it is not ready to compromise on even a single seat of its share, it is now preparing its candidates in Khair and Ghaziabad in case Congress does not field a candidate. SP has declared its candidates in the by-elections to be held on Karhal, Milkipur, Katehari, Phulpur, Majhwan, Sisamau and Meerapur seats. Brainstorming is going on to select the candidate for Kundarki seat. It is believed that these days SP may announce the field of its candidate from Kundarki seat also.
On the other hand, amid the possibility of Congress not contesting the elections in UP, it is also being said that as per the strategy based on the results of the 2022 assembly elections and SP’s demand of 12 seats from Mahavikas Aghadi in Maharashtra, Congress will win both the seats in UP. The candidate is holding back from fielding the candidate. SP spokesperson Udayveer Singh says that it has come to light from some Congress officials that their claim is on Majhwan and Phulpur seats. Dr. Ramesh Bind had contested very well in the Mirzapur Lok Sabha elections. Therefore his daughter Dr. Jyoti Bind has been made the candidate. On this seat, SP came second in the 2022 elections.
Phulpur seat was also a contender for Mustafa Siddiqui who got more than one lakh votes. In such a situation, the organization had already made preparations to field its candidates on these seats. Now Khair and Ghaziabad seats have been given to Congress in the alliance. Now they have to decide everything. As of now, there has been no talk from the Congress high command about not contesting on both the seats.
