Sometimes rumours pour in that he will fight from Azamgarh, sometimes from Badaun, sometimes from Sambhalโ€ฆThe list is endless..โ€

โ€œThese days rumours are going on that he will play safe and will contest from Mainpuriโ€™s Karhal. Let me tell you all that if Akhilesh is going to contest elections from Karhal, considering that the seat as safeโ€ฆ he will lose very badly,โ€ he said.

Lauding the efforts of the BJP, the MP further said, โ€œBut now the situation in Mainpuri district is not the same as before. In Mainpuri district, the BJP is very strong at the grassroots level. BJP, as an organization has a huge voter base and is very strong.โ€

โ€œOne must not forget that during the tenure of the Samajwadi Party, goons and mafias made it difficult for the common man to survive. Women and girls were unsafe and were forced to stay indoors,โ€ he added.
