Barabanki MP Upendra Rawat spoke to party national president JP Nadda and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday regarding the objectionable video going viral. Urged him to get the matter investigated quickly. Rawat said that the video has been made viral to tarnish his image. Some people did not want me to get a ticket again, so the edited video went viral. Action will be taken against those who have committed this heinous act. I am a party candidate and will contest elections only after being proven innocent in the investigation.
After the video went viral, the claim for ticket from Barabanki has started again in BJP. Former MP and State General Secretary Priyanka Rawat, former IAS officer Ram Bahadur and former district president of the party Shashank Kushmesh and other leaders are expressing their claim. Everyone hopes that after the video goes viral, the party may reconsider Upendra’s ticket.
Why did it go viral only after declaring the candidate?
After the video of BJP MP Upendra Rawat went viral during the Lok Sabha elections, a round of discussion has started in the power and political circles. On Monday, there was discussion everywhere as to who made this video viral during the elections. Even if the video is true then why was it made viral only after Upendra was declared the candidate. Who can benefit if Upendra’s ticket is cancelled?
Big question, who will contest the elections now?
There was a rapid change in the politics of the district after the video episode. Now the biggest question is who will contest the elections? There was discussion about this throughout the day. This development has affected the equation of SP along with BJP to a great extent.
48 hours cost heavily on the politics of Barabanki
The party announced to give ticket to MP Upendra Singh Rawat again on Saturday evening. There was celebration regarding this. The MP gave credit for this to the public. Speculation regarding the ticket had stopped. But the video going viral on Sunday afternoon created a stir. A case was registered in the city police station in the evening. Somehow the night passed and on Monday afternoon the MP announced that he would not contest any election until he was proven innocent. In such a situation, the politics of Barabanki was affected for 48 hours.
