Lucknow: Two candidates from one party trying for the same seat contest are not new, but what if they become husband and wife? The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) found himself in a difficult situation in the Sarojininagar chair in Lucknow where the two Minister of Swati Singh and her husband Shankar Singh – Vice President BJP – had risked their claims.
Swati won the Sarojininagar seat in 2017 after he received propulsion by BJP in 2016 when the leader of the party Bahujan Samajj (BSP) used unpleasant comments on him and his daughter.
This happened after Shankar’s power made a comment insulting on the head of BSP Mayawati.
He was suspended from a party just to be brought back after a few months.
He is currently the Vice President of BJP and who is responsible for OBC Morcha.
Now, both Shankar and Swati power are competing for the Sarojininagar chair where voting will be held in the fourth phase.
While both of them cannot be contacted for comments, a senior party leader said the party’s leadership will make a last call on this issue.
A few days ago, both Swati and Shankar’s power put up hoarding in the assembly constituency, making people disappointed.
Shankar’s power has also become a member of the BJP Committee that oversees the induction of leading leaders from the opposition camp.
Shankar’s power was said to have played an important role in the induction of the Samajwadi Party Patriarch Mulayam Singh Mugger Daughter-in-law Yadav, Aparna Yadav, at BJP.
