Not Azamgarh, this is Akhileshgarh: Where SP fears BSP the most, BJP has only one seat here… yet Akhilesh did not contest here

Now the last phase of the Uttar Pradesh elections is left. In the seventh phase, voting will be held on March 7 in 54 assembly seats in 9 districts. One of these districts is…Azamgarh. Yes, the same Azamgarh whose MP is SP chief Akhilesh Yadav. He had taken this seat from his father Mulayam Singh Yadav. Azamgarh has 10 assembly seats. When Akhilesh announced to contest the assembly elections, there was talk of contesting from Azamgarh only. Suddenly he chose Karhal.

Let’s know what Dainik Bhaskar’s report says on the ground…

Before knowing the ground report here, understand what happened in 2017. Actually, there was a Modi wave. It seemed that the SP’s fort would be taken away, but out of 10 seats in Azamgarh, BJP could win only one seat (Phulpur Powai) and there was no greenery in 26 years of drought. BSP got 4 seats while Samajwadi Party won 5 seats.

BSP won these 4 seats

SP won these 5 seats

Now let’s go straight to Azamgarh…and know what is in 10 seats, this time the election environment…

These two seats are in discussion
Except one in 10 seats of Azamgarh, BJP’s account was not even opened in the 2017 elections. In the last election, the Phulpur Powai seat, which was dominated by Ramakant Yadav, went to the BJP’s account. Ramakant Yadav’s son Arunkant Yadav contested from this seat on a BJP ticket. This time Ramakant Yadav himself is fighting from this seat, but not from BJP but from SP ticket. At the same time, Mubarakpur seat went to BSP’s account in 2017. Shah Alam alias Guddu Jamali had won from here. Shah Alam is in the fray this time too, but not from BSP ticket but from Owaisi’s party AIMIM.
