Although no major political party has announced its candidate yet, but it is expected that the names will be revealed by June 4.
The Samajwadi Party is likely to field Azam Khan’s wife or daughter-in-law for the Rampur bypoll from the parliamentary seat following the party veteran’s decision to resign as an MP and continue as an MLA instead. After that it was empty.
This step has been taken after the meeting between the SP chief Akhilesh Yadav And Aajam Khan At Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, Delhi. Sources reveal that Azam Khan’s wife Tazeen Fatima, who has been a former MLA or her daughter-in-law Sidra, may contest the Rampur bypoll on a Samajwadi Party ticket.
The enrollment process has already started and the last date is June 6. Although no major political party has announced its candidate so far, it is expected that the names will be revealed by June 4.
Meanwhile, Congress may field Nawaz Kazim Ali Khan, while the name of Union Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi from BJP is also in the news. Naqvi’s name was dropped from the list of Rajya Sabha candidates from UP, following which it was believed that he may be fielded on a BJP ticket for the Rampur bypoll. Other names that are in fray from the BJP include Bollywood Actresses Jaya Prada, Sandeep Agarwal Soni, Suryaprakash Pal, Akash Saxena and Bharat Bhushan Gupta.
The Congress has not officially declared its candidate yet, but the nomination form has been procured in the name of Nawab Kazim Ali Khan by his PRO Kashif Khan. Mayawati-led Bahujan Samaj Party cannot field any candidate for the Rampur bypoll. A total of nine nomination forms have been purchased so far for the Rampur by-election.
