My name is Mahabali and Mahabali cannot be sacrificed. Mahabali takes the sacrifice and does not sacrifice himself. This was said by Karakat’s JDU MP Mahabali Singh, but as soon as seat sharing was announced, Mahabali Singh lost his hands. His claims remained in vain.
claims remain in vain
On March 13 itself, ‘Amar Ujala’ had expressed the possibility of JDU MP from Karakat Mahabali Singh sacrificing the ticket. However, at that time Mahabali Singh had rejected this possibility by saying that Mahabali is not sacrificed. Mahabali takes the sacrifice. Does not sacrifice himself. He had also claimed that Chief Minister Nitish Kumar had clearly told him that JDU is certain to contest the elections on all its seats. Due to this, it is certain that he will contest elections from Karakat itself. Upendra Kushwaha is in NDA. He will also get a seat but not from Karakat, rather he will have to find a new land for himself.
Upendra Kushwaha is sure to contest from Karakat seat
Mahabali’s claims fell flat on Monday when seat sharing was announced among the NDA constituents. As soon as the announcement was made, Mahabali Singh’s claims went up in smoke, because he was continuously claiming that his ticket was confirmed on Karakat seat. But the Karakat seat has now gone to the account of former Union Minister of State Upendra Kushwaha’s party Rashtriya Lok Morcha (RLM). Meaning Mahabali Singh was sacrificed. His claim failed and the claim of ‘Amar Ujala’ literally became true. Now the contest of Upendra Kushwaha on Karakat seat is final.
Mahabali had said this
JDU leader and outgoing MP of Karakat Mahabali Singh had said on March 13 that with becoming a part of NDA again, everything is final regarding the seats won by JDU and BJP. There is no scope for ifs and buts in this. He had also said that BJP will contest the Lok Sabha elections on its won seats and JDU on its won seats. Ignoring the discussion about his ticket being canceled for Upendra Kushwaha, he had said in an enthusiastic tone that you are talking about sacrificing my ticket. Know that my name is Mahabali and Mahabali cannot be sacrificed. Told me that my ticket is not going to be sacrificed under any circumstances. Our leader Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has told all the JDU MPs to stay in their areas. There is no crisis on his ticket. On the orders of his leader, he continues to remain among the public in his area.
These things were said for Upendra Kushwaha
Mahabali Singh had said that Upendra Kushwaha is also a respected leader of NDA. Soon it will be decided in NDA from where Kushwaha will contest the elections. Kushwaha will definitely contest the elections but will not contest from Karakat, only Mahabali will contest from Karakat. Enumerating the development works done in Karakat parliamentary constituency due to his efforts in the last five years, he had also said that not only the people of Karakat but the people of the country know what our achievements have been in the last five years. The public is with me and I am with the public.
Upendra Kushwaha had joined NDA before JDU joined NDA.
Mahabali Singh had said that Upendra Kushwaha was in this alliance even before JDU joined NDA. For this reason, despite JDU becoming a part of NDA, it was feared that the ticket of sitting MP Mahabali Singh from Karakat Lok Sabha seat is certain to be cut. Such discussions were taking place even at the intersections. These discussions lost steam and ultimately Mahabali’s seat was sacrificed.
