Lok Sabha Election 2024: Akhilesh Yadav to hold rallies in Madhya Pradesh, SP not contesting on any seat; will seek votes in favour of Congress.
Bhopal, 15th April 2024: The President of the Samajwadi Party (SP), Akhilesh Yadav, will campaign in Madhya Pradesh. Akhilesh Yadav will rally in support of Congress candidates. Preparation is underway to organize rallies for Akhilesh Yadav in the Guna and Gwalior Lok Sabha constituencies. The Congress committee in Madhya Pradesh has sent a proposal for the rally to the high command.
Central Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia is contesting the election on the BJP ticket from the Guna Lok Sabha seat. He is being challenged by Congress candidate Rao Yadvendra Singh Yadav. Meanwhile, Praveen Pathak is the Congress candidate from the Gwalior seat. The BJP has fielded Bharat Singh Kushwah here. In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, Scindia was defeated by BJP candidate KP Yadav. Yadav’s role as a voter in some assembly constituencies of Guna is influential.
Under the alliance, the Samajwadi Party (SP) was allotted only one Lok Sabha seat in Madhya Pradesh, which is Khajuraho. The Congress is contesting 28 seats in the state. The SP had initially nominated Dr. Manoj Yadav from the Khajuraho seat. However, within 48 hours, Meera Yadav was announced as the candidate in his place. Meanwhile, due to an error in the nomination form, Meera Yadav’s nomination was cancelled. Voting for the Guna and Gwalior Lok Sabha seats will take place on May 7 in the third phase. Before that, based on social and caste equations, the Congress wants to hold a public meeting for Akhilesh Yadav in these two constituencies. In Guna, Congress aims to corner Jyotiraditya Scindia through Akhilesh Yadav. Sachin Pilot can hold public meetings in Morena and Ratlam. On April 24, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge may come to the Ratlam and Bhind Lok Sabha constituencies. This information was provided by the main spokesperson of Madhya Pradesh Congress, Kunal Choudhary.
