“Saifai Family” Knocking on Voters’ Doors for First time Due to Fear of Losing Mainpuri Seat: BJP leader

GG News Bureau

Mainpuri, 23rd Nov. Ashwani Tyagi, the BJP General Secretary in charge of the Mainpuri Lok Sabha bypoll, claimed on Wednesday that for the first time, the entire ‘Saifai family’ has been forced to knock on voters’ doors due to the fear of losing the seat.

Attacking SP President Akhilesh Yadav’s tenure as the chief minister, Tyagi said that the state was converted into a large industry of kidnapping, abduction, corruption, extortion and land grabbing and the future of the young generation was also spoiled.

The by-election for the Mainpuri seat, which became vacant after the death of SP founder Mulayam Singh Yadav, is scheduled for December 5.

The SP has fielded Yadav’s daughter-in-law Dimple Yadav, while the BJP has nominated Raghuraj Shakya for the seat, which is considered a Samajwadi Party stronghold.

Mulayam Singh Yadav’s hometown is Saifai in Etawah district, which is also part of the Mainpuri parliamentary constituency.

Tyagi, who is camping here with state Tourism and Culture Minister Jaivir Singh to manage and supervise the election, said it is the first time in political history that the entire ‘Saifai family’ is campaigning door-to-door.

Yogi Adityanath’s government has dealt with the criminals with an iron hand and has ensured honour and safety to all citizens across the state without discrimination of caste, class, or religion, Tyagi said.

The safety of women was a big issue then as incidents of gangrapes with minor girls and women were common, Tyagi said.

The BJP government gave special attention to the safety of women and now they feel safe to move around during late night hours, Tyagi said.

Girls go to schools in a secure atmosphere and now their parents never worry about their safe return, he said.

Tyagi also claimed that the BJP governments at the Centre and in the state headed by Narendra Modi and Adityanath respectively have given several schemes and programmes to help uplift the economic and social lives of the poor and the downtrodden.

To ensure all-round development, the state government led by Adityanath has floated plans to achieve the ambitious trillion-dollar economy by setting up big industries.

He claimed that since law and order in the state have become a model for other states to follow, big industrial houses have preferred Uttar Pradesh as a safe destination to set up their industries here which will also create employment avenues for the young generation.

He said that with the initiative of the chief minister, big foreign industrialists have also preferred UP as a safe place to invest to set up and promote their industries in the state.
