UP Assembly Election 2022: A Twitter war has erupted between Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav and former minister Raghuraj Pratap Singh alias Raja Bhaiya amid the ongoing Uttar Pradesh assembly election. 

Akhilesh Yadav, in a tweet, alleged that bogus voting took place in the Kunda assembly constituency where Raja Bhaiya is the candidate. Akhilesh tweeted a photo as evidence and demanded the cancellation of the elections in Kunda. The tweet was later deleted.

Reacting to the SP chief's tweet, Raja Bhaiya tweeted, "Respected ⁦@yadavakhilesh ⁩ ji, you are the national president of a party and also a senior politician, the above video is from Haryana of the 2019 elections, which you are demanding to cancel the election by telling that of Kunda, so much in politics. Hate is not good either.”

आदरणीय ⁦@yadavakhilesh⁩ जी, आप एक दल के राष्ट्रीय अध्यक्ष हैं और वरिष्ठ राजनेता भी, उक्त वीडियो 2019 के चुनाव का हरियाणा का है जिसे आप कुण्डा का बताकर चुनाव निरस्त करने की माँग कर रहे हैं, राजनीति में इतनी घृणा भी अच्छी नहीं होती। pic.twitter.com/NyBiv6yoAs

SP Has Fielded Gulshan Yadav Against Raja Bhaiya.

Raja Bhaiya is a six-time MLA. In the last elections, Raja Bhaiya got a lot of support from the Samajwadi Party. For the last 15 years, the SP had not even declared its candidate against him. 

But this time, the SP fielded Gulshan Yadav from the Kunda seat against Raja Bhaiya. It is believed that there is tough competition between the two candidates for this seat. However, Raja Bhaiya is confident of his victory. He says this is not the first time that other parties have fielded their candidates against him.

Uttar Pradesh is undergoing assembly elections in seven phases. The final phase of the elections would conclude on March 7. And the result of the elections will be declared on March 10.
