Lok Sabha Elections 2024: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath today (May 11) said that during the rule of the Samajwadi Party (SP) in UP there was anarchy, our daughters were not safe, there was a huge crowd of goons everywhere but now this is new India, new Uttar Pradesh, today there is no place for 'mafia', criminals on earth.
"Akhilesh Yadav did not pay his condolences on Kalyan Singh's death but he went to Mukhtar Ansari's house to express his grief and sorrow. It shows that SP is with criminals and terrorists," CM Yogi added.
CM said, "You have contributed towards forming the governments in both Delhi and Lucknow. That is why Lord Ram is now seated at the grand temple in Ayodhya, this is an unprecedented even in the past 500 years. For the past time in 500 years, Lord Ram played Holi on 'janmabhoomi' and celebrated his birthday."
Kannauj Assembly seat
Kannauj has five assembly segments in which Chhibramau, Tirwa and Kannauj lie in Kannauj district while Bidhuna and Rasoolabad lie in Auraya and Kanpur Dehat districts respectively.
Except for Bidhuna, where the SP won, the BJP bagged all the four seats from here in the 2022 UP assembly elections. The BJP sees this as an advantage and aims to further consolidate its vote bank.
Mentioning the abrogation of Article 370, Maurya appealed to the party workers to increase at least 370 votes on all the booths. Yadav had made his political debut from Kannauj in the 2000 byelections after which he held the seat in 2004 and 2009.
His wife Dimple won the seat unopposed in the 2012 byelections after Akhilesh left the seat on becoming the UP chief minister. She retained the seat in 2014, but lost to BJP's Pathak in 2019.
Socialist Dr Ram Manohar Lohia won the seat for the first time in 1967, when it came into existence. The constituency has about 19 lakh voters, including about three lakh Muslims, 2.5 lakh Brahmins and Yadavs each, and over four lakh Dalits.
The polling on this seat will be held in the fourth phase of Lok Sabha elections on May 13.
