VARANASI / LUCKNOW: Curtains came down on the suspense over Samajwadi Party’s pick for Lok Sabha bypoll on Monday with former Badaun MP Dharmendra Yadav filing his nomination from Azamgarh – putting to rest speculations over former Kannauj MP Dimple Yadav contesting from the seat. The surprise, however, came from Rampur where party veteran Azam Khan picked his close aide Asim Raza Khan as the SP candidate.
Talking to reporters at the Azamgarh collectorate, three-time MP Dharmendra Yadav, who is also the cousin of former CM Akhilesh Yadav, said the people of Azamgarh have ensured victory of all 10 SP candidates in the 2022 assembly polls and the same voters will ensure his victory as well.
