The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday released the list of two more Lok Sabha candidates in Uttar Pradesh along with four candidates for the Assembly byelection. Thakur Vishwadeep Singh has been given ticket to contest from Firozabad against the Samajwadi Party (SP) Akshay Yadav, while Shashank Mani Tripathi will be the candidate for the Deoria Lok Sabha seat.
Mr. Tripathi’s candidature follows a denial of ticket to sitting MP Ramapati Ram Tripathi.
With the announcement, the BJP has declared most of its candidates in U.P. for the Lok Sabha election apart from Raebareli and Kaiserganj, which is represented by controversial leader and six-term MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh.
