Winning the seat from the BJP is extremely difficult

Although Swami Prasad Maurya's son Uttrakta Maurya ran for the BJP in Rae Bareli's Unchahar constituency last time and lost by a very thin margin, it is considered that winning the seat from the BJP is extremely difficult. If Swami Prasad Maurya's son wants to win this seat, he can only do it through the Samajwadi Party.

He believes that the Samajwadi Party is more fit for the seat

According to sources, the BJP is once again willing to provide Swami Prasad Maurya's son a ticket from Unchahar, but Swami Prasad Maurya believes that the Samajwadi Party is more fit for this seat. Swami Prasad Maurya has been astonished by his decisions. No one knew when he left the BSP the last time, and the same thing is happening today with the BJP.
