Samajwadi Party Gets Good Boost At The Bypoll Results Before 2024 Elections

By Pradeep Kapoor

LUCKNOW: By-elections results for Mainpuri Lok Sabha seat and two assembly seats Rampur Sadar and Khatauli in western Uttar Pradesh  have given clear message to BJP, Samajwadi Party and RLD to work hard and search for good alliance partners for 2024 Lok Sabha polls.

Riding on sympathy factor for Mulayam Singh Yadav who passed away few months back, his daughter-in-law and SP candidate Dimple Yadav won byan  impressive margin against BJP candidate Raghuraj Singh Shakya in crucial by-election for Mainpuri Lok Sabha seat.

Beside sympathy factor for founder of Samajwadi Party, the credit also goes to political maturity of former chief minister Akhilesh Yadav who patched up with his estranged uncle Shivpal Yadav who after the results were announced, merged his party with Samajwadi Party. It would be worth mentioning here that after feud in the family, Shivpal Yadav parted company of Akhilesh Yadav in 2016 and formed his own party.

Significantly, Shivpal Yadav fielded his own candidates in 2017 assembly polls and was responsible for defeat of Samajwadi Party candidates in many constituencies. Although Shivpal Yadav had joined hands with his nephew in 2022 assembly polls, he was not happy as Akhilesh Yadav failed to give respectable position to him in the party.

Shivpal Yadav was instrumental in building up Samajwadi Party with elder brother Mulayam Singh Yadav. With Shivpal Yadav campaigning for Dimple Yadav, Samajwadi Party got very impressive votes in his Jaswantnagar assembly segment which helped the party to defeat BJP candidate by the margin of 2.88 lakh votes.  In 2019 polls, Mulayam Singh Yadav could win by 90,000 votes with the help of alliance partner BSP.

Now Akhilesh will have to show more maturity by finding responsible alliance partners and redraw strategy to win the forthcoming Lok Sabha polls. At the same time, the defeat of Rampur Sadar assembly constituency which was earlier won by powerful Muslim leader Mohd Azam Khan but had to vacate due to disqualification in hate speech, should lead to a thorough   appraisal. Defeat of Samajwadi Party candidate is a cause to worry for Akhilesh Yadav and Azam Khan especially in Muslim dominated constituency.

Although Samajwadi Party has demanded repoll in Rampur alleging large-scale misuse of official machinery but Akhilesh Yadav will have to think why Muslims were not voting for the party candidates. Earlier Samajwadi Party had lost in by-polls for Lok Sabha seats in Azamgarh and Rampur vacated by Akhilesh Yadav and Mohd Azam Khan respectively.

The victory of Khatauli assembly seat in Muzaffarnagar by RLD candidate who snatched seat from BJP has given boost to party president Jayant Choudhry. The seat was vacated by BJP candidate following his disqualification in hate speech. BJP gave ticket to his wife but she was defeated. Credit goes to Jayant Choudhry who showed maturity by having alliance with Bheem Party of Chandrashekhar Ravan who is a very powerful dalit leader in Western UP. He successfully mobilised support of dalits for RLD. Now Akhilesh Yadav should also win over Bheem Party like his alliance partner Jayant Choudhry did.

BJP has made some breakthrough in Muslim belt and it has all the more reason to celebrate by winning Rampur its first non-Muslim candidate since 1952. But defeat in Mainpuri Lok Sabha seat and Khatauli will force the leadership to work hard and redraw strategy for Lok Sabha polls.

BJP leadership is aware that party lost in two constituencies despite massive mobilisation of workers and campaign by UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath who addressed meetings in all the three constituencies. (IPA Service)
