"I got to know this through media and newspapers. If Akhilesh Yadav calls me or comes to my home, I'll accompany him out of compulsion as my etiquette says so. I'll go out of my respect for Akhilesh Yadav but will not campaign (for SP candidate, Ruchi Vira). People are sad and if I campaign
Samajwadi party leader ST Hasan on Thursday said that he would not be campaigning in Moradabad for the party's candidate, Ruchi Vira, adding that it would be "very disheartening" for those who supported and prayed for him in Moradabad.
"She (Ruchi Vira) is the authorised candidate. I have no objection to this. The party decides that they can field anyone. I have always criticised the politics of hate and will continue to move forward against it. I am with the ideology of Late Mulayam Singh Yadav and Akhilesh Yadav," Hasan
The suspense on the Moradabad Lok Sabha constituency ended on Wednesday after sitting MP ST Hasan's nomination was cancelled and Ruchi Vira filed her nomination.
