BJP scramble to save Sikri fort from popular Kargil war veteran's Hand
The Morning Standard
|May 03, 2024
KNOWN for being the seat of the famous Sufi saint Salim Chishti and the fort of Mughal Emperor Akbar, Fatehpur Sikri is the youngest parliamentary constituency in Uttar Pradesh. It was carved out of Agra in 2008.
BJP’s Rajkumar Chahar had won it in 2019 with 5 lakh-plus vote margin. But this time, the contest seems to be evenly poised between the BJP and the Congress. Sikri goes to polls on May 7.
Congress candidate Ram Nath Sikarwar - popularly known as Fauji Baba - is giving a tough fight to Chahar, who is reeling under anti-incumbency besides intraparty rebellion.
In 2019, Chahar was a giant killer, having ATORS defeated Raj Babbar, the then state president of the Congress.
But now Chahar, the national chairman of the BJP's Kisan Morcha, is caught in a double whammy.
