The Azad Samaj Party has become the first party in Uttar Pradesh to announce a candidate to contest against Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath from Gorakhpur. Bhim Army Chief Chandra Shekhar Azad will contest his first assembly election from Gorakhpur Sadar against BJP’s Yogi Adityanath, which is his stronghold that elected him to Lok Sabha for five straight terms till 2017. Yogi Adityanath is running for MLA for the first time. But his main rival will be the Samajwadi Party candidate, not announced yet. Azad’s contest is a stark reminder of the Modi versus Kejriwal Varanasi contest from 2014, which the current Delhi CM and AAP convenor had lost. Catch this highlight from Poll Baazi where analysts decode why Azad’s announcement sounds no less of a well-planned gambit and why is he risking a direct fight with Yogi.
