Netaji’s list doesn’t include candidates who will surely win, will talk to SP chief: Akhilesh Yadav

After party Chief Mulayam Singh Yadav on Wednesday released a list of 325 of the possible 403 candidates ignoring Akhilesh Yadav’s oppositions to certain leaders for poll tickets and his strategies for an alliance in the state assembly elections, the ruling SP in Uttar Pradesh was in chaos.  The UP CM is on a tour of Bundelkhand currently.

Disappointed with the list out by his father and Uncle Shivpal Singh Yadav in Lucknow, the Chief Minister, said, “The list released today does not include names of certain candidates who are sure to win. I will take it up with the SP chief and tell him that some of them have done really good work and should be given tickets.”

Notably, the list has names like Sibkatullah Ansari, brother of imprisoned Mukhtar Ansari, and Atiq Ahmed who has been named in a number of cases. Akhilesh had denied tickets to both.

On the other hand, several MLAs and ministers seen close to Akhilesh, including Ram Govind Chaudhary, Pawan Pandey and Arvind Singh Gope, have not been included in Mulayam Singh’s long list of candidates.

As per the sources, Akhilesh has called a meeting of ministers and MLAs who have not been given tickets on Thursday. At least 46 sitting MLAs do not included in the list of 325.

While Sandeep Shukla, sacked by the Chief Minister has been given Sultanpur Sadar ticket by Mulayam Singh, Arun Kumar, the sitting MLA from Sultanpur Sadar, does not named in the list.

“Samajwadi Party is not forming an alliance with anyone,” Mulayam Singh said earlier in the day. It ends all sorts of speculation of a pact between the SP and Congress that Akhilesh had showed interest in.  Akhilesh had indicated that he was open to the idea of an alliance with the Congress.

Mulayam Singh also did not project Akhilesh as the chief ministerial candidate, saying “SP has no tradition of projecting anyone as its chief ministerial candidate. Some parties do it, and in the process bite the dust. In SP, the legislators elect their leader.”
