Nationalist Congress Party (Sharad Pawar faction) leader Supriya Sule on Saturday said that people have rejected the "dictatorial" government (at the Centre) in connection with the results of bypolls to seven seats across the country.
The bypoll in Ghosi was necessitated after Dara Singh Chauhan, who had won the seat in the 2022 Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls as Samajwadi Party candidate, came back to the BJP. The Samajwadi Party candidate Sudhakar Singh won by a big margin of 42,759 votes.
Samajwadi Party MP ST Hasan on Saturday said that his party won the Ghosi Assembly byelection because people are angry with the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party for the high inflation and lack of job opportunities prevailing in the constituency.
Following the victory of Samajwadi Party candidate Sudhakar Singh in the Assembly bypolls of Ghosi, party MP Ram Gopal Yadav on Friday said that the general public has turned against the Bharatiya Janata Party government and will vote for the INDIA bloc in the upcoming elections.
Samajwadi Party won the Ghosi seat in Uttar Pradesh with the parties opposed to BJP winning four of the seven assembly seats for which bypolls were held on September 5. BJP won three seats in the results declared on Friday
Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Friday congratulated his party candidate Sudhakar Singh, who is leading in Ghosi Assembly bypolls by a huge margin, saying that this is a "victory" of the INDIA bloc and that it will continue in the ensuing Lok Sabha elections.
Samajwadi Party leader Shivpal Singh Yadav on Thursday claimed that the people of Ghosi have voted for SP candidate Sudhakar Singh and he would win the bypolls.
Talking to ANI, Singh said that he could see people’s trust in the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adiyanath.
The voting for the bye-elections to the other six assembly constituencies of several states, including Uttarakhand, Kerala, Tripura, West Bengal, and Jharkhand, started on Tuesday at 7 am.
Notably, this is the first election between the Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP)-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and the Opposition bloc's newly formed Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA).
Tearing into the Samajwadi Party (SP) over the threat of its Ghosi bypoll candidate to beat up the local police outpost-in-charge with shoes, Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak on Sunday said anarchism and hooliganism were in their DNA.
