Shivpal Yadav to support Dimple Yadav in Mainpuri Lok Sabha bypoll

Pragatisheel Samajwadi Party (Lohia) president Shivpal Singh Yadav has asked his party workers to ensure the victory of Samajwadi Party candidate Dimple Yadav in the Mainpuri parliamentary seat bypoll. The support of Shivpal is very important as BJP has declared Raghuraj Singh Shakya as its candidate for the Mainpuri bypoll. Shakya is a close associate of Shivpal Yadav and Shakya had said that he would seek the blessings of his "political guru" Shivpal Singh Yadav for the December 5 by-election.

The Mainpuri bypoll was necessitated due to the death of Samajwadi Party (SP) patriarch Mulayam Singh Yadav. The SP has announced Shivpal Singh Yadav as one of its campaigners.

The PSPL chief told his party workers that Mulayam Singh Yadav had an emotional bond with the constituency and it would be a true tribute to 'netaji' if the SP won the seat vacated by him, a leader who attended the meeting said.

"The SP has fielded Netaji's daughter-in-law Dimple Yadav from the Mainpuri Lok Sabha seat. Dimple is also the elder daughter-in-law of our family. Campaign for her and work to ensure her victory with a huge margin," Shivpal Yadav was quoted as saying by a party worker.
