Lucknow, 09 November (HS). The by-election to be held on Majhwan assembly seat in the area of Maa Vindhyavasini is also no less interesting. This seat has become vacant due to Nishad Party MLA Vinod Bind becoming MP from Bhadohi. Now BJP has put this in its account. Where BJP has made Suchismita Maurya its candidate. At the same time, Samajwadi Party is trying its trick by fielding Dr. Jyoti Bind. In such a situation, the main contest is being considered between BJP and SP, but BSP is trying to make it triangular by giving it a Brahmin face.
Here, SP is trying to open an account with the help of Dr. Jyoti Bind, daughter of Ramesh Bind, who has been a three-time MLA from BSP, while BJP is trying hard to repeat its old history. Meanwhile, BSP is trying to make the contest triangular by giving a Brahmin face (Deepak Tiwari) and is trying to bring back its lost ground. Now who will win can be known only after the election results are out, but right now there seems to be more hope for the lotus to bloom.
