Samajwadi Party (SP) candidate Ajeet Prasad, who is facing a challenge from the Bharatiya Janata Party's Chandrabhan Paswan in a Pasi vs Pasi contest, filed his nomination for the Milkipur assembly bypoll on Wednesday, asserting that he was a local and claiming that his election rival was an outsider.
LUCKNOW:: Samajwadi Party (SP) candidate Ajeet Prasad, who is facing a challenge from the Bharatiya Janata Party's Chandrabhan Paswan in a Pasi vs Pasi contest, filed his nomination for the Milkipur assembly bypoll on Wednesday, asserting that he was a local and claiming that his election rival was an outsider.
On the other hand, Paswan expressed confidence that people of all castes will vote for the BJP, which is looking to wrest the seat from the Samajwadi Party, a six-time winner in Milkipur. Both Ajeet Prasad and Chandrabhan Paswan belong to the Pasi community.
In the absence of Bahujan Samaj Party from the bypoll fray, both SP and BJP candidates are looking to get more and more Dalit voters on to their side. Also, the Congress has announced that it will not contest the Milkipur by-polls, making it a direct contest between the SP and the BJP.
