Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak today said that Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) would give the ticket to one of its prominent leaders for the upcoming Mainpuri bypolls.
Mainpuri by-election: The Mainpuri parliamentary constituency has five assembly segments- Mainpuri, Bhongaon, Kishni, Karhal and Jaswant Nagar. In the 2022 assembly elections, the SP won the Karhal, Kishni and the Jaswant Nagar seats, while the BJP won the Mainpuri and the Bhogaon seats.
After a heated showdown over the Karhal assembly seat, EC data shows that BJP candidate SP Singh Baghel's electoral expenses were Rs 2 lakh more than SP president Akhilesh Yadav.
