Lucknow: The Samajwadi Party on Wednesday named Professor Ramgopal Yadava and Dhanraj Parimal Nathwas its two candidates for the Rajya Sabha from Uttar Pradesh. The two candidates are likely to file their nominations on Wednesday in the presence of party Chief Akhilesh Yadav.
Ahead of the nomination filing, Uttar Pradesh Minister Om Prakash Rajbhar took a sharp dig at the Samajwadi Party's candidate selection, questioning whether the party intends to send family members, the wealthy, and criminals from the Pichhada, Dalit, and Alpashankhyak (PDA) communities to the upper house of Parliament.
