On the Allahabad parliamentary seat, there is a direct contest between Neeraj Tripathi, son of BJP’s strong leader Pt. Keshrinath Tripathi, and Ujjwal Raman Singh, son of SP leader Revati Raman Singh, who is contesting on a Congress ticket. BSP has fielded Ramesh Patel Chitauri here, but neither his polling agents nor bags were seen at most of the booths.

Input: BJP trapped in alliance’s Chakravyuh on Prayagraj Allahabad seat Prayagraj. This time a close contest was seen between BJP and India Alliance on Allahabad parliamentary seat. This time in this parliamentary constituency having five assembly seats, caste equations seem to be dominating the issues of development and law and order. It cannot be said whether BJP will score a hat-trick from here or the alliance will prevail.
On this seat, there is a direct contest between Neeraj Tripathi, son of BJP’s strong leader Pt. Kesharinath Tripathi, and Ujjwal Raman Singh, son of SP leader Revati Raman Singh, who is contesting on a Congress ticket. BSP has fielded Ramesh Patel Chitauri here, but neither his polling agent nor his bag were seen at most of the booths. This makes it clear that this time voters have no third option other than the alliance candidate against the BJP.
Apart from these, BJP’s move of cutting MP Rita Bahuguna Joshi’s ticket and betting on Keshri Nath’s son backfired. BJP had lost Meja seat in the last assembly elections. Karchana, Bara area has also been considered the stronghold of Revati Raman Singh. BJP has always had hope from Koraon and Shahar Dakshini, but this time there is a close contest here too. This time the division of Kurmi and Dalit votes and unity of Muslim votes have also increased the concern. In such a situation, the path of BJP here does not seem easy.
