Preparation to weaken SP in Mainpuri

Mainpuri district panchayat member Shubham Singh Jatav of SP, former assembly candidate of BSP Gaurav Nand, former block chief of SP Manoj Yadav, state general secretary of Yadav Mahasabha Vineet Yadav have also been included in the party. Muslim leaders also joined the party on the principle of Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas.
Shock to SP: On Wednesday, BJP has especially shocked SP by including people from opposition parties in the party on a large scale. Employee leader Harikishore Tiwari had joined SP before the assembly elections-2022. He hoped that the party would give him a ticket for the assembly elections, but he did not get the ticket. Tiwari has been agitating for a long time for restoration of old pension. With Tiwari joining BJP, SP’s hold among the employees will weaken. Richa Singh strongly supported SP on social media, but she also opposed Swami Prasad Maurya for opposing Sanatan.
