Lok Sabha Elections Result 2024: Bhim Army Founder Chandrashekhar Azad Has Strong Lead On Nagina LS Seat

Chandra Shekhar Azad, the emerging young leader in Dalit politics and head of the Bhim Army group, is aiming to replace the Mayawati-led Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) as the primary representative of the Scheduled Castes in Uttar Pradesh. At present, he leads by a margin of 55,445 votes in the Lok Sabha elections, contesting from Nagina under the banner of his political party, the Azad Samaj Party (ASP), which has a kettle as its symbol. In the Nagina constituency, a fascinating political narrative unfolds as Om Kumar, the BJP candidate, finds himself trailing behind contenders from the Samajwadi Party (SP) and the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP). Azad is the sole candidate from his party in this election. In the 2022 UP Assembly polls, he ran against Yogi Adityanath in Gorakhpur, securing only 4,501 votes and losing his deposit.
