Lok Sabha Election Ghazipur Seat: Bharatiya Janata Party has fielded Paras Nath Rai against Samajwadi Party candidate Afzal Ansari on Ghazipur Lok Sabha seat. Rai said that when I got the information about contesting the elections, I was in school and teaching in the class. He said, “When I came to know that I had got the ticket, I did not even realize that I had become a candidate.
Parasnath Rai is considered close to Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor and former Ghazipur MP Manoj Sinha. Rai said that he was not shocked when he got the ticket. He said that, we felt that if the organization has given some other responsibility then we should work further. We did not ask for a ticket.
Why did you get the ticket? Paras said
When he was asked why did you get the ticket? Answering this question, he said that I have been an ordinary volunteer. Whatever responsibility the organization has given me, I have fulfilled it with full devotion. Today the organization thought that I would contest the Lok Sabha elections, then suddenly a notification came to me. I am ready to fight.
When journalists asked Paras whether Afzal Ansari, who has won elections from here several times, is against him in this election, he said that no matter who is against me, I am a soldier and have always fought like a soldier. Be it a one-time MP or a five-time MP. I want to fight and win.
He said, I have roamed from street to street and house to house in the entire Ghazipur district. There is no village where I have not visited. My motorcycle has gone to every door. This is the basis of my work. Rai said, I have been associated with the Sangh since I was studying in eighth grade. However, later after going to BHU, passion developed in me.
