Lucknow, June 14: By-election will be held soon in Mau after mafia Mukhtar Ansari’s son and MLA Abbas Ansari was sentenced to two years. Before the by-election in Mau, brainstorming is going on between the state officials of BJP and Om Prakash Rajbhar of SBSP. At the same time, the Ansari family is fully prepared to win its traditional seat again.
Abbas Ansari has indicated to field his brother Umar Ansari or uncle Afzal Ansari’s daughter Nusrat Ansari in the by-election.
Om Prakash Rajbhar, President of the SBSP and Minister in the UP Government, has claimed the by-election seat in Mau and said that Abbas Ansari was the MLA of Mau Sadar from SBSP. SBSP has won this seat earlier also and if given a chance in the by-election, will win again. If by-election is held on Mau assembly seat in future, then Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party will also contest the election.
Om Prakash Rajbhar further said about the by-election that due to the alliance with BJP, we have conveyed our point to the top leadership. At present, brainstorming is going on regarding the by-election. Only our candidate can compete strongly with Abbas Ansari in Mau. If only BJP supporters support, then the candidate of Subhaspa will be successful in winning in a one-sided contest. This time only the candidate of BJP and Subhaspa alliance will win.
Regarding the by-election in Mau, Samajwadi Party President Akhilesh Yadav had said in a press conference that Abbas Ansari’s MLA post has been taken deliberately. If by-election is held in Mau, then Samajwadi Party will contest the election with full force.
At the same time, Samajwadi Party MLA Sangram Singh Yadav claimed that President Akhilesh Yadav has asked the party workers to be ready for the by-election in Mau. I believe that only a member of Ansari family will contest on Samajwadi Party ticket and will win and become MLA.
Amidst the buzz of by-election, Abbas Ansari and his uncle MP Afzal Ansari are hoping for justice from the court.
Afzal Ansari told the journalists that the hearing is going on in the court and due to this he will not say anything right now. Whatever happens after the court’s decision, the strategy will be made accordingly. Abbas Ansari will knock the door of the higher court on the two-year sentence he got for hate speech.
It is worth mentioning that the Mau assembly seat has been with the Ansari family for 35 years. This Mau seat has been known by the name of Mukhtar. After Mukhtar Ansari died in jail, the people of Mau have sympathy for the Ansari family. At the same time, after Abbas Ansari was sentenced to two years and he lost his MLA post, there are various discussions among the people of Mau about many big names including former MLC of Varanasi, former Chief Secretary of the state contesting the by-election from Mau.
