 "Samajwadi Party President Akhilesh Yadav Addresses Press Conference")
The Akhilesh Yadav-led party plans to contest all 230 parliamentary seats from now on.
The Samajwadi Party (SP) on Sunday floated a list of nine candidates for the assembly elections in Madhya Pradesh scheduled for November 17.
SP leader Yash Bhartiya said the names of six candidates in the list were announced earlier, while three new names were added.
“The nine candidates include former MLA Meera Deepak Yadav, who hails from Niwari assembly constituency,” Bhartiya said.
The Akhilesh Yadav-led party plans to contest all 230 parliamentary seats as of now, he said.
Apart from Niwari, candidates are announced for Rajnagar, Bhander, Dhauhani, Chitrangi, Sirmaur, Bijawar, Katangi and Sidhi assembly seats.
The SP had won one seat, Bijawar in Chhatarpur district, in the 2018 parliamentary assembly elections.
When the Congress fell short of majority despite emerging as the largest party in the previous polls, two BSP MLAs, one SP legislator and four independents provided outside support to the then Kamal Nath-led government.
