Lucknow, 26 July (HS): Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath will be targeting the

SP's seven assembly seats in Mainpuri and Etawah in a single day. Following the

2022 assembly elections, the by-election for the Mainpuri Lok Sabha seat after

the death of Netaji Mulayam Singh Yadav, the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, and now,

ahead of the 2027 assembly elections, UP CM is busy preparing the pitch for a

project gift just before the elections. Etawah and Mainpuri are considered the

biggest strongholds of the Samajwadi Party (SP). This is why the BJP places a

special focus on these districts. Etawah has three assembly seats: Etawah

Sadar, Bharthana, and Jaswantnagar. Mainpuri has four seats: Mainpuri, Bhogaon,

Kishini, and Karhal. Despite considerable efforts, four of the seven seats

remain with the Samajwadi Party. In Etawah, the District Panchayat President

and the Member of Parliament are also from the Samajwadi Party.

To hold continuous tour of the districts in a single day: Along with the

Assembly constituency, the Mainpuri Lok Sabha seat is also considered strong

for the SP. Dimple Yadav is currently the MP. The Jaswantnagar seat in Etawah

plays a crucial role in strengthening the Mainpuri Lok Sabha seat. The SP's

powerful leader Shivpal Singh Yadav is the MLA from here. For this reason,

Etawah is also important for Mainpuri. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has

scheduled a day for consecutive district visits these days. After first

targeting Mainpuri, the Chief Minister will target Etawah in the evening.

Minister in charge and regional vice president will also be present: Minister

in charge Baby Rani Maurya and regional vice president Kamlavati will also be

present at the event. Only the Sadar MLA and district president will be allowed

on stage. It is estimated that approximately 10,000 people will attend the

event. All arrangements for the event have been made by an agency from Lucknow.

People who left the party can be included: Some people from other parties

may also attend the Chief Minister's program on Sunday. Some of these people

include those who left the BJP and joined the SP and those who are preparing to

leave the SP and join the BJP. However, the district organization has not

confirmed this.

In a post on X, UP CM stated, “With the aim of giving new momentum to the

resolve for honoring teachers, public welfare, and development, today I am

fortunate to participate in the important public welfare programs being

organized on the sacred soil of the districts of Agra, Mainpuri, and Etawah. In

Agra, the launch of the 'Chief Minister Teacher Cashless Medical Scheme' will

take place. At the same time, the inauguration/foundation stone laying of 239

development projects costing more than approximately Rs. 1,286 crore for the

Mainpuri, Karhal, Etawah, Jaswantnagar, and Bharthana Assembly constituencies

will be done. Approval letters, cheques, tool-kits, and certificates will also

be distributed to the beneficiaries of various schemes. These initiatives will

prove to be the cornerstone of a new era of all-round development in the

region, providing new momentum to public amenities, health security, and

prosperity.”
