"Rampur Elections Not Fair, Have Demanded Repoll": Akhilesh Yadav To NDTV | Read

Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav told NDTV in an interview that his party has petitioned the Election Commission of India for a re-poll in Rampur assembly seat, where the party suffered a big loss at the hands of the BJP in the bypoll - the BJP in fact won the seat for the first time. "I feel very sad that despite repeated complaints to the Election Commission, they did not act against the administration," Mr Yadav told NDTV. BJP candidate Akash Saxena defeated Asim Raja, the candidate backed by Azam Khan, the Samajwadi Party leader whose conviction in a hate speech case led to the bypoll.
