BAREILLY: Shivpal Yadav's son, Aditya Yadav, will contest from Budaun Lok Sabha seat on SP ticket . This was confirmed by SP district president Ashish Yadav on Friday.
The decision comes after a tug-of-war within the party, as initially, SP chief Akhilesh Yadav wanted his uncle Shivpal Yadav to contest from Budaun. However, yielding to the demands of locals and party workers, Akhilesh consented to Aditya's candidacy.
Aditya collected the nomination papers from the collectorate on Friday. The upcoming polls will witness Aditya pitted against BJP's candidate, Durvijay Singh Shakya, regional president of 'Braj Prant'. BJP has chosen Shakya over incumbent Sanghmitra Maurya, daughter of rebel leader Swami Prasad Maurya.
In a strategic move to counter SP's stronghold, BJP is projecting Durvijay as a homegrown leader, emphasising his grassroots journey from a student union leader to a prominent political figure. In contrast, the SP candidate is being portrayed as an outsider. Shakya filed his nomination on Friday and said, "Employment and development will be my primary focus."
