AGRA: Samajwadi Party patriarch Mulayam Singh Yadav made an emotional appeal during a rally on Thursday to voters in Mainpuri district’s Karhal, where Akhilesh is taking on Union minister and BJP candidate SP Singh Baghel, to “respect his feelings” and elect his son and party chief “with a huge margin”. This was Mulayam’s first visit to his native village after winning the 2019 Lok Sabha polls from the district, a family stronghold.
Mulayam then appealed to the crowd to vote for “all SP nominees”. He expressed happiness after seeing the large gathering and promised to provide help to farmers, youth and businessmen. “They will play a major role in the development of the state and the country, and only an Akhilesh-led government can fulfill those dreams,” he said.
