Predicting the victory of her party candidate, Bahujan Samaj Party president Mayawati, on the eve of bypolls, appealed to the voters to vote in favor of the BSP candidate for the Azamgarh Lok Sabha seat.
Mayawati expressed her hope in a tweet in which she said that she was convinced by the public support that the victory of party candidate Shah Alam alias Guddu Jamali was certain in Azamgarh.
Mayawati tweeted on Wednesday that the way the BSP was getting support from people of all sections in the elections to be held on Thursday for Azamgarh Lok Sabha seat, was very encouraging. “By staying away from the gimmicks of the opponents, this public support will definitely convert into votes, such is the full belief of BSP candidate Shah Alam alias Guddu Jamali,” she said.
Due to Jamali always being helpful to the people rising above the local and party politics, his credibility and popularity is more than that of the opponents, which is likely to have a good effect on the election result, she added.
Even a day earlier, Mayawati, while creating an atmosphere in favour of BSP candidate Guddu Jamali in the Azamgarh Lok Sabha by-election from Lucknow, had given him the title of a very civilised person along with describing him as a local resident.
Regarding Shah Alam alias Guddu Jamali, who was MLA from Mubarakpur assembly constituency of Azamgarh, Mayawati had said that by ensuring the victory of Guddu Jamali in Azamgarh, people could kill two birds with one arrow. The BSP supremo had said that this was the first time that the BSP was contesting a by-election in Azamgarh and this bypoll was important for the people in the sense that they could defeat the Bharatiya Janata Party to teach it a lesson for its anti-people policies like Agnipath. She said along with this, SP could also be punished for its “internal complicity” with the BJP as both were two faces of the same coin.
She also made a strong appeal to the voters to participate enthusiastically in the voting.
Bahujan Samaj Party has fielded Guddu Jamali from Azamgarh Lok Sabha seat, while the party has not fielded its candidate for Rampur Lok Sabha seat.
