Union minister Ajay Mishra Teni faces tough contest in Kheri, SP has a lead

Union Minister Amit Shah who had campaigned for Teni had also indicated a promotion for him in the next cabinet if BJP came to power. Shah had remarked:

“Wherever I go (for campaigning), in every place, people demand that their MP should be made a minister. But you, the people of Kheri, we have already given you a minister. Ensure the victory of Ajay Mishra and I assure you that I will make him a big man.”

Even in his rallies, Shah had raked up the issue of Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and also accused the Congress of stalling the Ram temple issue for 70 years.
