After the distribution of seats between SP and Congress, there is turmoil among the ticket contenders. SP and Congress are preparing to change sides in search of tickets from Moradabad and Amroha Lok Sabha seats. Some people want to ride a bicycle leaving the hand behind, while others want to leave the bicycle and go with the hand.
At present, the contenders of both the parties are in touch with big leaders. Till now both the parties have not announced candidates for the division seats. SP and Congress will contest Lok Sabha elections together in UP. Seats have been divided between both the parties.
Congress will contest elections on 17 seats in the state. SP will field its candidates on the remaining seats. The formula of five-one has been applied in the distribution of six Lok Sabha seats of the division. Moradabad, Sambhal, Rampur, Bijnor and Nagina seats of the division have come in SP’s account. Whereas Congress has got the only Amroha Lok Sabha seat of the division.
On the other hand, Congressmen were also preparing to contest elections on five seats held by SP. Had also submitted claim for ticket from the party. Similarly, there were many contenders in the queue for ticket from SP from Amroha Lok Sabha seat. But in the seat distribution, the hopes of Congress contenders on five seats and SP on one seat were dashed.
