With the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) pulling up its socks for the assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh next year, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath may contest the polls from the Ayodhya constituency.
Ved Prakash Gupta, who is the current MLA from Ayodhya, has said that he is ready to vacate his seat for Adityanath if the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister wants to contest from the temple town. He also asserted that the saffron party will win the upcoming polls in the state.
“It will be a matter of pride and luck for all us people of Ayodhya if the chief minister fights the election from here. The party will decide who has to contest from where. Ayodhya is one of the chief minister’s priorities,” Gupta said on Sunday, as reported by India Today.
The 49-year-old is also a five-time member of Parliament from Gorakhpur. He had resigned from Parliament position in 2017 after the BJP decided to make him the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh.
