Samajwadi Party Focuses on UP Assembly, Fields Two Rajya Sabha Candidates
The Samajwadi Party (SP) has decided not to field a third candidate for the upcoming Rajya Sabha elections, focusing instead on the 403 Uttar Pradesh Assembly seats. SP has nominated Ram Gopal Yadav and Dhanraj Parimal Nathwani for the Rajya Sabha polls. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has announced eight candidates for the same elections. The SP's decision reflects current vote arithmetic, which leaves it short of securing a third seat without additional support or cross-voting.
