In a dramatic turn of events, Sanghamitra Maurya, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP from Budaun, came out in the support of her father Swami Prasad Maurya on Tuesday, the last day of canvassing for the sixth phase of Assembly polls in Uttar Pradesh.
Ms. Maurya accused BJP workers of heckling her and appealed to women to vote for her father, who is contesting from the Fazilnagar seat of Kushinagar. “ Main Fazilnagar ki behen-betiyon se kehti hoon, ab ki baar Swami ka saath,” she said.
Ms. Maurya addressed the media after a fracas took place allegedly between BJP and Samajwadi Party (SP) workers in the Gorardia area of Fazilnagar.
