Even after the UP elections are over, the troubles of the SP alliance are not taking its name. Keshav Dev Maurya, president of Mahan Dal, an ally of the SP alliance, targeted Swami Prasad Maurya during a conversation with a news channel, saying, “Swami Prasad Maurya was sent by the BJP to the SP and this was the plan of the BJP.” Keshav Dev Maurya has also warned Akhilesh Yadav that if the alliance does not get importance, then he can go somewhere else.
A few days ago also Keshav Dev Maurya had targeted Swami Prasad Maurya. He had said that, “After the arrival of Swami Prasad Maurya, this thinking developed that now votes will be easily available. People should understand that the vote lies with the party and not the leader. Leaders keep changing the party.” Keshav Dev Maurya had also accused the alliance saying that the cadre of Mahan Dal was used very little in this election.
there on Tuesday SP chief Akhilesh Yadav raised questions on EVMs over the defeat. He wrote while tweeting that, “The SP-Alliance got 51.5% of the votes in the postal ballot and according to them the victory of the SP-Alliance in 304 seats is telling the truth of the election. Thank you to every true government employee, teacher and voter who cast the postal ballot who voted for us honestly. Remember those in power, deceit does not give strength.”
Let us inform that in the month of January, Swami Prasad Maurya left the BJP and joined the Samajwadi Party. Along with Swami Prasad Maurya, many other backward leaders had also joined the SP. Many leaders were given tickets by the SP but most of the leaders lost the elections. Swami Prasad Maurya himself lost the election from Fazilnagar assembly seat in Kushinagar district by a margin of more than 15 thousand votes. Dharam Singh Saini, who joined the SP along with Swami Prasad Maurya, also lost his seat. Both the leaders were ministers in the Yogi government.
The BJP alliance has won 273 seats in the UP assembly elections. While the SP alliance has won 125 seats. In the election, BSP won only one seat, while Congress won 2 seats.
