While keeping the suspense alive over contesting from a seat in the 2022 Uttar Pradesh Assembly election, Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav on Wednesday indicated an interest in fighting the polls.
Amid speculation that Mr. Yadav could contest from a seat in Azamgarh, possibly Gopalpur, he said as a representative of the Lok Sabha constituency, he would have to seek the people’s permission. “I will seek permission of the people of Azamgarh before fighting election, if I contest election,” he said
Mr. Yadav’s statement could also mean that he could contest from a seat outside Azamgarh and was simply seeking the approval of voters in Azamgarh for a shift.
