Due to the protest, one candidate became so light-hearted that even an FIR was registered against the people of his own area.
Deputy CM became a victim of anger in his own house
Keshav Prasad is the Deputy CM in the UP government. He is contesting from Sirathu seat of Kaushambi, a neighboring district of Prayagraj. On January 22, when they reached Ghulamipur to campaign in their assembly constituency, the women surrounded them and started shouting slogans. They started raising slogans against Keshav Maurya. The Deputy CM did try to silence the women, but the women did not remain silent.
When the video went viral, SP leader IP Singh wrote, ‘First the chair came in danger, now the stool is also in danger’. In fact, Subhaspa chief Om Prakash Rajbhar once said that Keshav Prasad Maurya does not get a sofa but a stool to sit in the cabinet. After this the opposition parties started using the word stool to take a jibe at Keshav Prasad.
