Jhansi, Dec 3
Former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister and SP chief Akhilesh Yadav is taking out a 'Vijay Rath Yatra' in Jhansi on Friday, with the focus on Bundelkhand and will also hold public rallies at nine places.
After this, he will address public gatherings at Mahant Laxman Das Kanya Inter College in Baragaon, Rashtrakavi Maithilisharan Gupt Mahavidyalaya in Chirgaon and Tika Ram Kanya Mahavidyalaya.
Earlier, in Lalitpur, Akhilesh accused the BJP of fooling the people. He raised the farmers' issue and said that only a family man can understand the pain of a family member.
In Bundelkhand, Hamirpur, Mahoba, Banda and Chitrakoot comprise a division (mandal). Jhansi, Lalitpur, Jalon is another division. There are seven districts and 19 Assembly seats in the area.
For Akhilesh, Bundelkhand remains a major challenge because the BJP has a strong hold in the area and it had won all the 19 Assembly seats in the region.
In the 2019 Assembly elections, the BJP wiped out the SP, BSP and Congress in the region.
The SP is busy in stitching together alliances with small parties to give a tough fight to the saffron party.
On October 13, Akhilesh had launched his 'Vijay Rath Yatra' as part of the 2022 UP Assembly election campaign.
