After being released from the Bareilly jail after the Allahabad High Court granted bail to former MP Dhananjay Singh bail in a 2020 kidnapping and extortion case, Singh said that his best wishes are with his wife so that she emerges victorious in the elections.
According to the list, the Mainpuri Lok Sabha ticket has been changed and given to Shiv Prasad Yadav, whereas Shrikala Singh, wife of gangster-turned-politician Dhananjay Singh, lodged in jail, has been fielded from the Jaunpur constituency.
