Lashing out at the SP has cost Congress MP Imran Masood dearly; Akhilesh Yadav dealt him a severe blow by poaching Shayan Masood into the party.

The game of statements and political maneuvers has always been interesting in the politics of Uttar Pradesh. Recently, senior Congress MP Imran Masood, who openly made sharp attacks on the Samajwadi Party, has had to suffer huge political loss due to this. Samajwadi Party National President Akhilesh Yadav has made such a masterstroke, the echo of which is being heard in the politics from Western Uttar Pradesh to Lucknow. Akhilesh Yadav has included Imran Masood’s close family member and his son-in-law Shayan Masood in his party. This political development has given a big blow to Imran Masood’s political influence in his own house.

What is the whole matter and how the politics of Western UP changed?

Imran Masood, who is counted among the influential Muslim faces of Western Uttar Pradesh, has recently been elected MP on Congress Party ticket. But for some time, there were reports of differences with his Samajwadi Party leaders over local equations and statements. He had raised many questions on SP and its functioning from the forums. Experts believe that the SP leadership took this statement very seriously and strategically made a dent within the Masood family and made Shayan Masood ride on his bicycle.

How strong will SP get with the arrival of Shayan Masood?

Shayan Masood’s joining Samajwadi Party is being considered a big political equation for the upcoming local and assembly elections. The Masood family is considered to have a huge political influence and loyal vote bank in Saharanpur and its surrounding areas. In such a situation, the joining of an important face from within the family to the SP is part of Akhilesh Yadav’s strategy, through which he wants to send a message to the regional satraps about how those who adopt opposing stances are politically cornered. This shock has created a stir in the Congress camp also.

What political challenges are left for Imran Masood now?

After this political burglary within his own house and family, the troubles of Congress MP Imran Masood have increased a lot. On one hand, he is facing the challenge of maintaining his strong hold in his stronghold, on the other hand, his political management has also been shaken by this aggressive stance of the opposition parties. In the coming days, many more shades of this family and political discord can be seen in the politics of Western Uttar Pradesh, which will completely affect the electoral equations of the state.
