Samajwadi Party candidate Sudhakar Singh has been declared the winner from Ghosi constituency in Uttar Pradesh for the Assembly bypolls conducted earlier this week. Following the victory, SP general secretary Ram Gopal Yadav on Friday stated, "The victory of Samajwadi Party in Ghosi is a blessing of the people. I thank the voters of Ghosi and also the administration there for conducting fair polls."
He said that the public has turned against the BJP government and has decided to vote for the Samajwadi Party and the newly formed INDIA Opposition alliance.
Earlier in the day, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav congratulated party candidate Sudhakar Singh for his performance in Ghosi assembly bypoll.\
He said it is a "victory" of the INDIA bloc and the momentum will continue in the Lok Sabha elections.
The bypoll in Ghosi was necessitated after Dara Singh Chauhan, who had won the seat in the 2022 Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls as Samajwadi Party candidate, came back to the BJP.
The Samajwadi Party candidate won by a big margin of 42,759 votes.
