Agra. In the Uttar Pradesh Legislative Council (MLC) election, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate Dr. Manvendra Pratap Singh ‘Guru Ji’ has won from the Agra division graduates’ constituency. He defeated Samajwadi Party (SP) candidate Shashank Yadav and secured his place in the Legislative Council once again. With this victory, the BJP has retained its representation on the Agra division graduates’ seat.
According to media reports, in the final result, Dr. Manvendra Pratap Singh received a total of 31,393 votes, while SP candidate Shashank Yadav polled 22,537 votes. In this way, ‘Guru Ji’ won by a margin of 8,856 votes. After the counting was completed and the result was declared, enthusiasm was seen among BJP supporters.
After the victory, Manvendra Pratap Singh said that looking after the interests of graduate voters, advocates and journalists would remain his priority. He assured that he would raise issues related to these sections and work toward resolving their problems.
In Agra, the BJP and SP shared the seats. In the teachers’ constituency of the Agra division, SP candidate Dr. Akash Agarwal defeated the BJP’s Hari Kishore Tiwari by 4,263 votes. In the graduates’ constituency, BJP’s Manvendra Pratap Singh registered victory. In this way, the results of the teachers’ and graduates’ seats in Agra remained significant for both major parties.
These MLC election results have become a subject of discussion in Uttar Pradesh politics. However, rather than viewing the results of these Legislative Council seats as a direct indication of the upcoming Assembly election, it would be appropriate to see them in the context of the concerned constituencies and voter groups.
