‘Not eyeing 3 but 403 seats’: Akhilesh’s cryptic tweet creates stir, raises suspense on 3rd RS seat
New Delhi: Samajwadi Party (SP) national president Akhilesh Yadav on Tuesday stated that his party’s ultimate focus is on the entire 403 seats of Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly, rather than just three seats.
The SP supremo took to X to share a cryptic post, creating a stir in the political circles, with many insinuating that the party has laid out its plan to not challenge the BJP in the Rajya Sabha elections for the eight seat.
A day ago, when the BJP announced eight candidates for biennial Rajya Sabha elections from Uttar Pradesh, multiple reports suggested that SP was mulling fielding third candidate in the poll fray. As per existing Assembly strength, the BJP has the numbers to easily win 7 Rajya Sabha seats while SP commands numbers to bag 2 seats.
SP has so far nominated two candidates, party general secretary Ram Gopal Yadav and Dhanraj Parimal Nathwani for the Rajya Sabha elections. They also filed their nomination papers in the presence of SP chief.
The biennial elections for ten Rajya Sabha seats are scheduled for October 16. The terms of the sitting members expire on November 25.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) announced the names of eight candidates for the upcoming biennial elections to the Rajya Sabha from Uttar Pradesh earlier on Monday.
Dharampal Singh, Radhakant Ojha, Prakash Pal, Vidyasagar Sonkar, Gopi Krishna Pandey, Priyanka Singh Rawat, Ram Pratap Singh Chauhan and Shruti Gangwar are the BJP’s eight Rajya Sabha picks, who will seek election to the Upper House from Uttar Pradesh.
The list of candidates shows the party’s calibrated approach to address the demographic considerations and caste equations, while giving adequate weightage to women's representation. Shruti Gangwar and Priyanka Singh Rawat are the party’s two women nominees in the list of eight candidates.
The Samajwadi Party (SP) has 101 lawmakers in the 403-member Legislative Assembly.
