- Samajwadi Party founder-patron addressed his first public meeting in the ongoing Uttar Pradesh assembly polls on Thursday. He campaigned for his son and party's Karhal candidate Akhilesh Yadav, who is up against BJP's SP Singh Baghel.
- A day before the crucial Karhal constituency in Uttar Pradesh's Mainpuri goes into polls, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate SP Singh Baghel has claimed that Samajwadi Party (SP) patriarch Mulayam Singh Yadav was “forcefully” brought to the town this week to campaign for son Akhilesh Yadav.

“Mulayam Singh Yadav did not come to Karhal willingly,” Baghel was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.
Referring to the campaign, Baghel, who is fighting the Samajwadi Party chief from the constituency, on Saturday said that “children become elderly parents' support system” but Akhilesh is the “first child who is taking help from his older and ailing father" to save himself from getting defeated in the Uttar Pradesh assembly elections.
