Akhilesh Yadav wanted to field Tej Pratap Yadav from Mainpuri but the moment this came to the knowledge of the BJP leader source says the senior leaders of BJP immediately approached Yogi to Shiv pal Yadav, who was at that time stationed at Delhi, to get ready to contest. Shiv pal Yadav also nodded in favour. In the meantime, Akhilesh Yadav came to know about the planning of BJP and immediately changed his plan and convinced Mrs Dimple Yadav to agree to contest because she was not ready to contest due to the bad experience of Kannauj and Firozabad source says. Mrs Dimple Yadav agreed when the matter came to the respect and unity of family source says. Shiv pal Yadav contacted Yogi and conveyed that it will not be possible for him to contest against his daughter-in-law source says.
