Mayawati’s celebration has a powerful presence in all of the eight seats (file)
Bhopal:
The Bahujan Samaj Social gathering, led by former Uttar Pradesh chief minister Mayawati, has introduced its candidates for eight of the 27 Madhya Pradesh Meeting constituencies that may go to bypolls later this yr. This comes a day after the celebration introduced it is going to contest all of the seats, dashing the Congress’s hope for a direct combat with its primary rival – the BJP.
The BSP candidates declared for the eight seats, embrace former MLA Soneram Kushwah (Joura seat), Ramprakash Rajauria (Morena), Bhanupratap Singh Sakhwar (Ambah), Yogesh Meghsingh Narwaria (Mehgaon), Jaswant Patwari (Gohad), Santosh Gaud (Dabra), Kailash Kushwah (Pohri) and Rajendra Jatav (Karera) in Shivpuri.
Out of the 27 seats, 16 constituency fall within the Gwalior-Chambal area, which is taken into account to be the stronghold of former Congress chief Jyotiraditya Scindia, whose exit with 22 MLAs led to the collapse of the Kamal Nath authorities earlier this yr.
Many of the seats the place Mr Scindia had affect had been gained by the Congress in 2018 as he was regarded as the front-runner for the put up of the chief minister, which finally eluded him.
Mayawati’s celebration has a powerful presence in all of the eight seats. The celebration has gained seven out of them up to now. The BSP gained the Joura seat in 1993, 1998 and 2008; Morena seat in 2008); Ambah seat in 2014; Mehgaon in 1993; Gohad in 1993; Dabra in 1993; and Karera in 2003.
Within the 2018 Meeting election, the BSP completed second behind Congress in Joura and Pohri seats, and third behind Congress and BJP candidates in Morena, Gohad, Dabra and Karera seats.
Based on the political pundits, the BSP contesting elections in all of the 27 seats would not augur properly for the Congress, which is having a tough time discovering appropriate candidates as many of the influential leaders had adopted Mr Scindia into the BJP. The Congress additionally runs the danger of conceding its scheduled caste votes to the BSP, which can profit the BJP in a triangular contest.
Out of the 27 seats going to bypolls within the coming months, 25 had fallen vacant resulting from Congress MLAs quitting the meeting — most of them could be BJP candidates.
