BSP wrests Hardoi seat from SP
Special Correspondent
LUCKNOW: The Bahujan Samaj Party wrested the Hardoi Assembly seat from the Samajwadi Party in the lone Vidhan Sabha byelection in Uttar Pradesh.
The seat was won by Nitin Agarwal of the BSP, who defeated his nearest Samajwadi rival Sukh Saagar Mishra ‘Madhur’ by a margin of 17,372 votes.
While the BSP candidate polled 65,533 votes, 48,161 votes were garnered by the Samajwadi Party nominee. With 5,737 votes, Mithilesh Singh Chauhan of the Congress came third. He lost his deposit.
BJP did not contest
The Bharatiya Janata Party had not entered the fray.
The byelection in Hardoi was caused by the resignation of the former Minister, Naresh Agarwal, who subsequently joined the BSP in July this year. Mr. Agarwal had won the seat as a Samajwadi Party candidate in the 2007 U.P. Assembly elections.
He later fell out with Samajwadi chief Mulayam Singh and joined the BSP.
Nitin Agarwal is the son of Naresh Agarwal, who has now been appointed the national general secretary of the BSP by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati.
