Uttarakhand: Bhavana Pandey will contest from BSP in Haridwar Lok Sabha seat, independent MLA Umesh Kumar has filed nomination…Cong candidate is yet to be announced
Political parties in Uttarakhand are announcing their candidates for the Lok Sabha elections. On Thursday, Bahujan Samaj Party has announced its candidate for Haridwar Lok Sabha seat. Bahujan Samaj Party has declared Bhavana Pandey as its candidate from Haridwar.
Haridwar Lok Sabha seat is a high profile seat of Uttarakhand. Congress has not yet announced its candidate for this seat, but BSP has announced its candidate today.
Today, independent MLA Umesh Kumar reached the Collectorate building in Roshnabad and filed his nomination from Haridwar seat. During this time a large number of his supporters gathered. Former CM Trivendra Singh Rawat is contesting from BJP on this seat. At the same time, Congress has not yet declared its candidate for this seat. From here the names of former CM Harish Rawat and his son are in discussion. Let us tell you that in the assembly elections, Umesh Kumar had contested as an independent candidate from Khanpur seat in the BJP stronghold and won with a huge vote. Now after his nomination from Lok Sabha, the election on this seat will be interesting.
After the nomination, Umesh Kumar said that this is a fight for the honor of Haridwar. It is a fight to protect the unemployed people here. Corruption is at its peak in every block and headquarters of Haridwar. Bribery is taking place in every department. Farmers are bound to suffer. All governments want to enslave us.
He said sarcastically that ‘First of all, we have to drive away those migratory birds which come here, feed on grains, then go back to Delhi, are not seen here for five years.’ Said that Harish Rawat, Trivendra Singh Rawat and Ramesh Pokhriyal. No doubt, all are migrants. Congress has not yet declared its candidate from Haridwar Lok Sabha seat.
