UP By Election 2024: Assembly by-elections are being held on nine seats in UP. At some places brother and nephew and at other places uncle and nephew are face to face. A similar contest is being seen in Karhal seat of Mainpuri. Here there is a contest between Tej Pratap Yadav of Saifai family and Anujesh Yadav, a relative of Yadav family. Meanwhile, one name which is being discussed a lot is that of Sandhya Yadav, wife of BJP candidate from Karhal, Anujesh Yadav. People want to know who is Sandhya Yadav? Whose husband has been made a candidate by BJP in Karhal Assembly by-election.
Let us tell you that Sandhya Yadav is the sister of SP MP from Azamgarh Dharmendra Yadav and SP President Akhilesh Yadav. If seen in this way, Anujesh Yadav is the brother-in-law of Dharmendra and Akhilesh Yadav.
There is a distinct identity in politics
Sandhya Yadav also has a distinct identity in politics. She is the first daughter of the Yadav family of Saifai to enter politics. Sandhya Yadav has also been the District Panchayat President from Mainpuri from 2015 to 2020. Her husband Anujesh has been a District Panchayat member in Firozabad. Sandhya’s mother-in-law and Anujesh’s mother Urmila Devi has been the Samajwadi Party MLA from Ghiror assembly seat of Mainpuri. Sandhya Yadav is currently in BJP.
Had changed sides before the assembly elections
Sandhya Yadav and her husband Anujesh Yadav had joined BJP even before the 2022 UP Assembly elections. If seen in this way, BJP had given a big blow to SP before the assembly elections. Now BJP has raised a big challenge against the Yadav family by making Sandhya Yadav’s husband Anujesh Yadav its candidate from Karhal seat. Even though Karhal is considered to be the stronghold of Saifai family, the equation here can change with Anujesh Yadav contesting elections from here. If BJP is successful in making a dent in Yadav votes then the result here can also be shocking.
What is the equation of Karhal assembly seat?
Karhal assembly seat of Mainpur district is a Yadav dominated seat. The total number of voters here is 3,75,000. If we talk about caste equation here, there are 1,30,000 Yadav voters in Karhal Assembly. According to estimates, there are 60,000 Scheduled Caste voters on this seat. Along with this, there are 50,000 Shakyas, 30,000 Thakurs, 30,000 Pal-Baghels, 25,000 Muslims, 20,000 Lodhis, 20,000 Brahmins and 15,000 Bania community voters. Samajwadi Party has been winning many elections on this seat continuously. But this time the competition may be tough and the result may also be shocking.
