Choice ABOVE: By-elections will be held in 9 assembly seats in Uttar Pradesh on November 13. One such seat is Ambedkar Nagar headquarters in Katehri. This time all parties, including SP and BJP, have made a strong bid for the Katehri assembly seat. . While the Samajwadi Party has expressed confidence in MP Shobhawati Verma, the BJP has fielded former BSP MLA and minister Dharamraj Nishad as its candidate to break the losing streak that has continued since the last three elections. Apart from this, BSP has gone for Amit Verma from Katehri seat.
Try to solve the caste equation.
All three parties have tried to resolve the caste equation. The candidates of both SP and BSP are from the Nishad caste community, in such a situation, there may be vote selling, which will directly benefit the BJP…so the by-election contest for this seat looks quite interesting. .
SP- Shobhawati Verma
BJP – Dharamraj Nishad
BSP-Amit Verma

Elections are disputed on caste issues
If we talk about election issues in Ambedkar Nagar’s Katehari seat, employment and floods are the major issues here. Talking to Bharat Samachar, the youth said that there is a lot of unemployment and lack of development here. Here elections are contested on caste issues. Elections are not held here in the name of development.
Young people will vote on the issue of employment and development
Let me tell you that the reality here is that popular demand for employment and development is the main problem. In such a situation, one has to see how well the candidates who come here after winning will rise to the public issues.
