The dates for by-elections for 9 assembly seats in Uttar Pradesh have been announced. Various parties including BJP, Samajwadi Party, and BSP have announced the names of their candidates. Congress has decided not to participate in this by-election. Karhal assembly seat has become the center of discussion in this by-election. There is going to be a contest between Lalu Prasad Yadav and Mulayam Singh Yadav’s son-in-law on this assembly seat. BJP has fielded the Mulayam family’s son-in-law Anuj Yadav from Karhal. On the other hand, SP has given a ticket to Lalu Prasad Yadav’s son-in-law Tej Pratap Yadav from Karhal. This seat has become vacant after Akhilesh Yadav’s resignation.

What is the relationship between the two candidates?

BJP’s Anuj Yadav is the cousin brother-in-law of SP chief Akhilesh Yadav and brother-in-law of SP MP from Azamgarh Dharmendra Yadav. Let us tell you that Dharmendra is the cousin of SP chief Akhilesh Yadav. Whereas, SP candidate from Karhal Tej Pratap Singh Yadav is the uncle of BJP candidate Anuj.
