Mr Rajpal Singh of RLD was the runner-up on the seat. The chief of RLD and Rajya Sabha member, Mr Chaudhary said recently that as per the agreement and promise by SP, the Khautali seat will be given to the RLD and hence Party is trying with all its available resources to get his nominee back as a winner, source says. Mainpuri seat of Lok Sabha is gone for by-election due to the unfortunate demise of sitting MP source says. This seat is with the family since 1996 and the nomination of the wife of the chief of SP Akhilesh Yadav is seen as continuing the legacy of the family source says.
