BALLIA: In ‘Baghi’ Ballia, rebels are threating to queer the pitch for BJP candidates. From Bairia to Phephna, the story is the same.
Firebrand MLA from Bairia Surendra Singh, who kept kicking up controversies apart from locking horns with party MP Virendra Singh Mast, has made it tough for the party after announcing to contest as an independent candidate after he was replaced by UP minister Anand Swaroop Shukla.
An MLA from Sadar, Shukla has been shifted to accommodate state vice-president Dayashankar Singh. However, Samajwadi Party’s decision of fielding former minister Narad Rai from Sadar prepared grounds for a tough contest here too. Interestingly, the return of Ketaki Singh has brought respite for BJP at Bansdih seat.
