In Keshav Prasad Maurya’s stronghold, the joint candidate of Apna Dal (K) and SP sounds confident of success.

Local politics in Sirathu constituency in Uttar Pradesh's Kaushambi has taken a turn with the entry of Pallavi Patel, the joint candidate of the Apna Dal (K) and the Samajwadi Party. Sirathu is considered a stronghold of UP deputy chief minister Keshav Prasad Maurya, but Patel sounds confident of success.

"The trust of the people has been broken," she told Newslaundry. "Now, they need someone who can raise their issues in the assembly."

On tying up with the Samajwadi Party, Patel said, "The BJP has white-collar gundas as well...Social justice, caste census, and unemployment have already generated a wave which will undoubtedly bring a tsunami in UP."
