Lucknow: The Samajwadi Party has again changed its candidate for Lambhua seat in Sultanpur district for the upcoming Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections.
Surabhi Shukla would now be the party candidate in place of Santosh Pandey for the Assembly seat, party state president Akhilesh Yadav said. The party has changed its candidate several times for the seat since October. First, Santosh`s name was announced, but after protests from his brother Anil Pandey, he was dropped in favour of Anil. Within days, Santosh was again named as candidate. On November 11, he was dropped a second time and Indu Prakash Mishra was named. Within a fortnight, the party decided Mishra was not a strong candidate and replaced him with Surabhi Shukla. However, Surabhi Shukla was later again replaced by Santosh Pandey.
