SBSP, an NDA ally in UP, plans to contest 153 seats in Bihar after talks with BJP failed. It keeps door open for alliances with smaller parties to form a new front.
In 2017, SBSP was allied with BJP and Rajbhar was made minister. He quit Yogi cabinet after 2019 LS polls and teamed up with Akhilesh in 2021, but that too didn’t last long.
SBSP chief and SP ally Om Prakash Rajbhar has a lead over his rivals with 34,667 votes, and a voteshare of over 44 per cent. Kalicharan Rajbhar has got 22,838 votes.
Om Prakash Rajbhar, president of SP ally Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party, faces BJP’s Kalicharan Rajbhar and BSP’s Shadab Fatima in UP’s Zahoorabad constituency.
Suheldev Bhartiya Samaj Party chief Om Prakash Rajbhar last week announced the alliance with the Samajwadi Party for the 2022 UP polls, saying this would ‘wipe out the BJP’.
Om Prakash Rajbhar’s SBSP and BJP had been at loggerheads in UP for months. The last straw was when Rajbhar asked his supporters at a rally to thrash BJP workers.
