Lok Sabha bypoll: BJP's win a result of double-engine government, says UP CM Yogi Adityanath
India TV NewsLok Sabha bypoll: As the Bharatiya Janata Party won two back-to-back seats from the Samajwadi Party in the bypolls, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that people sent a message that they are not ready to accept dynastic and casteist parties, which incite communal tensions and criminals. Addressing a press conference at the state party headquarters here, Adityanath announced that BJP candidate Ghanshyam Lodhi won from Rampur and Dinesh Lal Yadav 'Nirhau' from Azamgarh. The BJP's victory in Rampur and Azamgarh, considered difficult seats for the party, is significant as these were earlier held by Samajwadi Party stalwart Azam Khan and its president Akhilesh Yadav, both of whom resigned after being elected to the state assembly. The bypolls in Uttar Pradesh were necessitated by the resignations of Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav and party leader Azam Khan from Azamgarh and Rampur seats, respectively.
