The BJP is getting serious about the upcoming by-elections in Uttar Pradesh. They’ve shortlisted 27 possible candidates for nine seats, setting the stage for some political action. This all went down in a meeting led by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, who gathered some key party folks, including Deputy Chief Ministers and the UP BJP chief.
The nine seats opened up after some MLAs jumped to the Lok Sabha. We’re talking about places like Milkipur, Katehari, Majhwan, and more. On the other side, there’s chatter about the Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) possibly eyeing the Meerapur seat, and the Nishad Party, headed by Fisheries Minister Sanjay Nishad, is also pushing for a couple of seats. No final decisions yet, but things are heating up.
Meanwhile, former Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav isn’t just sitting around. He’s been meeting with Samajwadi Party folks to plan for both the by-elections and the big 2027 Assembly elections. With the Election Commission likely to announce the election dates soon, probably in November, everyone’s stepping up their game. Stay tuned, everyone, this political showdown is just getting started.
