The bugle of the assembly elections has been sounded in Uttar Pradesh and the political agitation is also very fast. In the 2017 assembly elections, in a way, there was a Modi wave in the entire state and the BJP alliance got 325 seats. But even in that wave there were some leaders in whose area the Modi wave had no effect. These leaders had won their assembly with a huge margin and reached the assembly.
Let us know about these leaders:-
Raghuraj Pratap Singh alias Raja Bhaiya: Raja Bhaiya is an independent MLA for six consecutive terms from the Kunda assembly constituency of Pratapgarh. Be it any candidate or party against Raja Bhaiya in Kunda, everyone has to face defeat. In the 2007, 2012 and 2017 assembly elections, the Samajwadi Party did not field a candidate against him and supported him.
Raja Bhaiya, considered very close to Mulayam Singh Yadav, had reached his house to meet Mulayam Singh Yadav last year, two days after his birthday, even after a tussle with Akhilesh Yadav. The biggest thing is that the margin of victory of Raja Bhaiya keeps increasing in every election. In the last election, Raja Bhaiya got about 70 percent of the vote, while in the 2012 assembly elections he got 68 percent of the vote.
Let us tell you, Raja Bhaiya has also been in controversies many times and he had to resign from the post of minister in the DSP Zia-ul-Haq murder case and also had to face CBI investigation. Raja Bhaiya also had to go to jail during Mayawati’s reign. Let us tell you that except the reign of Mayawati and Yogi Adityanath, Raja Bhaiya has been a minister in almost every government.
Vinod Saroj: Vinod Saroj, MLA from Babaganj seat of Pratapgarh, has also won the independent election. Vinod Saroj is said to be very close to Raja Bhaiya and Raja Bhaiya trusts Vinod Saroj a lot. Vinod Saroj has become an MLA by winning the independent elections in the 2007, 2012 and 2017 elections.
In 2017 Modi wave also Vinod Saroj defeated Bharatiya Janata Party candidate by more than 37 thousand votes. This time Vinod Saroj will be the candidate of Jansatta Dal as Raja Bhaiya formed his party before the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
Aman Mani Tripathi: 32-year-old Amanmani Tripathi is the MLA from Nautanwa seat of Maharajganj. Amanmani Tripathi is the son of Amarmani Tripathi who is currently in jail. In the 2017 assembly elections, despite the Modi wave and being imprisoned, Amanmani Tripathi won by more than 32 thousand votes. In this election, the BJP candidate was at number three.
Amanmani Tripathi’s sisters had campaigned for him and despite the Modi wave in the elections, Amanmani got a big victory. However, there has been no reaction from his side about whether Amanmani Tripathi will contest as an independent or from any party in the 2022 assembly elections. There are reports that Nishad Party can give him ticket.
Vijay Mishra: Vijay Mishra is an MLA from Bhadohi’s Gyanpur seat and won on a Nishad party ticket last time. He is still in jail. Vijay Mishra is being elected MLA from Bhadohi’s Gyanpur seat for four consecutive times. He contested and won the 2002, 2007 and 2012 assembly elections on a Samajwadi Party ticket.
While the Samajwadi Party did not give him a ticket in the 2017 elections, he contested the election with a ticket from the Nishad Party and won the assembly. Vijay Mishra has a good hold among the Brahmins in Bhadohi district and it is said that wherever he lives, no work of his people stops.
In the year 2018, when the Rajya Sabha elections were being held, there was also an alliance of Nishad Party and Samajwadi Party in Uttar Pradesh. Despite being the general secretary of Nishad Party, Vijay Mishra did not vote for the BSP candidate and voted for the BJP candidate even at the behest of the party.
In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, Vijay Mishra openly supported the BJP candidate and the BJP candidate won from Bhadohi Lok Sabha. At present, Vijay Mishra is lodged in jail and from time to time he keeps besieging the Yogi government.
