Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], November 23 (.): As the BJP gained a lead in Uttar Pradesh by-polls on nine seats, Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya said on Saturday that the Samajwadi party’s reality has come before the people and it is going to become “Samaptwadi Party.”
Speaking to ., Maurya said, “Akhilesh Yadav’s PDA is fraud. It is ‘Parivar Development Agency’. Their reality has come before the people. The lies and deceit they propagated in Lok Sabha won’t work now. Samajwadi Party is going to become Samaptwadi Party. They do politics in the name of PDA. But the murderer of a Dalit daughter sits with them. This is unfortunate. So, these 2024 Vidhan Sabha by-elections are the indication of the end of a party like SP.”

The by-polls were held in 48 assembly seats and two Lok Sabha seats across 15 states, with notable contests in Uttar Pradesh and Wayanad, Kerala, where Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra made her electoral debut.
Earlier, Samajwadi Party alleged that the police is affecting voting in all the nine seats in Uttar Pradesh where by-polls took place, while the BJP wrote a letter to the Election Commission complaing about “fake voting” specifically in Kundarki and Sisamau seats.
SP on its official handle on X has alleged that the police affected voting at nine seats in Uttar Pradesh where by-polls took place.
