The Samajwadi Party (SP) on Wednesday released a candidate list in which it fielded a candidate against ally Apna Dal-K in Mirzapur and changed its Noida nominee.
The fresh list includes:
- Gautam Buddha Nagar-Rahul Awana
- Sambhal-Ziaur Rahman Barq
- Baghpat-Manoj Chaudhary
- Pilibhit-Bhagwat Saran Gangwar
- Ghosi-Rajeev Rai
- Mirzapur-Rajendra S Bind
Earlier, Mahendra Nagar was declared the party's candidate for the Lok Sabha elections.
Some leaders met SC chief Akhilesh Yadav in Lucknow on Tuesday seeking to change the candidate.
Interestingly, the ally party of I.N.D.I.A announced to contest elections from Mirzapur yet the Samajwadi Party declared its candidate which may divide anti-BJP votes.
