Meanwhile Ravidas Mehrotra has also been an independent charge minister in the Akhilesh government. For the last few weeks, there was talk of him contesting elections from Lucknow. Recently, Ravidas Mehrotra's ticket was finalized. In the meeting of lucknow leaders called by akhilesh yadav at SP headquarters, it was said that SP will keep the lucknow seat in the alliance. The reason behind this is that most of the work done in lucknow has been attributed to SP.
Moreover akhilesh yadav had said that whether it is about Metro in lucknow or JPNIC, whether it is about hospitals in lucknow or about parks in lucknow, all these works have been done during the tenure of SP. akhilesh yadav said that SP will take this seat from the alliance. Let us tell you that Ravidas Malhotra has been associated with many different movements. Ravidas Mehrotra holds the record for going to jail the most number of times in the country while agitating on social issues. Ravidas Mehrotra has gone to jail 251 times so far. It is noteworthy that lucknow will be a difficult challenge for the SP candidate. This seat has been counted among the safe seats of BJP. The country's Defense minister Rajnath Singh is the mp from here and the party has always fielded veterans from here. Being an urban seat, there is a large number of traditional bjp voters on this seat. Because of this, SP's path will not be easy.
