UP polls: Akhilesh-led Samajwadi Party releases list of 191 candidates, Shivpal Yadav gets ticket

4Lucknow: Samajwadi Party headed by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav on Friday released the first list of 192 candidates for the upcoming UP Assembly Elections 2017.
Interestingly, Akhilesh’s warring uncle, Shivpal Singh Yadav has been given an election ticket to contest from Jaswantnagar constituency.
It was earlier reported that SP patron Mulayam had given a list of 38 candidates – which can’t be overlooked – to Akhilesh when the young Chief Minister came to seek his blessings on Tuesday.
Mulayam Singh was beaten on Monday in a battle of supremacy in the ruling SP by his son, as the Election Commission (EC) recognised Akhilesh Yadav as the national president of the party and allotted the party symbol of cycle to his faction.
