Known as the cereal-producing bowl in these parts, the constituency acquires a profile since incumbent MP Mahendra Nath Pandey is the BJP state party chief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At a time when the BJP is contesting election on \u201cPhir ek \nbaar, Modi sarkar\u201d, the state unit chief is entangled in triangular \ncontest in this constituency on the plank of implementing infrastructure\n projects in the area versus the usual caste factors at \nplay.\u201cDevelopment is taking place and it takes time to do so, our vote \nis for PM Modi\u201d, Kuldeep Singh, an employee of a leading corporate \nhouse, said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yet for the farmers, the grouse of inadequate \ncompensation for wheat procurement and inadequate power to reach water \nat the tail-end remains an issue, while for government employees \nscrapping of the old pension system continues to haunt. The local MP was\n found wanting for his inability to prevent the shifting of sanctioned \nmedical college during CM Akhilesh Yadav\u2019s time to neighbouring \nMirzapur, constituency of Union Health Minister of State Anupriya Patel.\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pandey is facing challenge from BSP-SP-RLD Gathbandhan \ncandidate Sanjay Chauhan, whose OBC community once backed the BJP, but \nwith major votes coming from the Dalits, Yadavs and Muslims alters the \nequation. Adding to the BJP woes is the presence of Congress-backed Jan \nAdhikar Party\u2019s Shivkanya Kushwaha, wife of Babu Singh Kushwaha, who \nbroke away from the BJP after being a minister.\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
