LUCKNOW: For the Samajwadi Party, the Azamgarh and Rampur Lok Sabha bypolls may end in a “family affair”. The party on Sunday dropped broad hints that Azamgarh seat will be contested by someone from the Yadav clan – possibly former MPs Dimple Yadav or Dharmendra Yadav – while Rampur candidate will be someone of party veteran Azam Khan’s choice and could be a member of his family.
The developments come days after PM Narendra Modi during his recent visit to Kanpur attacked the opposition over dynastic politics and said that democracy in the country can be strengthened only when parties shun nepotism and allow the youth of the country to reach the top positions.
