Samajwadi Party has formed the government four times in Uttar Pradesh. The Manikpur assembly of Bundelkhand remains its tussle. What did the party not do to win here? Befriended a dacoit. Gave ticket to dacoit’s son, but still empty handed. Let’s understand this magic.
Dadua’s closeness to the dacoit from SP made the party loot
Former head of Bagdari village of Manikpur, Lovelesh says, “Dadua campaigned for SP in the 2004 Lok Sabha elections. Due to his proximity to the SP, dacoit Dadua climbed on Mayawati’s eyes. Maya’s government came to power in Uttar Pradesh in 2007. Dadua was killed in the encounter in the same year.”
Dadua went, but drowned the SP. The message went to the people that SP was promoting dacoity. Mayawati saved people from such hooliganism. People took oath, SP is not to be allowed to come here.
