Javed Ali Khan Promoted By Akhilesh To Counter Azam Khan?

Mulayam Singh Yadav brought Javed Ali Khan, a communist student leader in SP along with Mitrasen Yadav source says. Javed is serving a second term in the upper house. In 2014, under the pressure of Azam Khan, SP leaders replaced him from Sambhal Lok Sabha constituency with Shafikur Rahman, an ex-BSP leader source says. As promised to send him to the upper house, he got the opportunity after 18 months and now is a very close confidant of Ram Gopal Yadav source says. Akhilesh Yadav is trained to take the place of Azam Khan in the western UP source says. He was given charge of the Kundaran assembly seat which has approximately 60% Muslim voters but Javed submitted a report to Akhilesh Yadav on the same polling day that SP was losing because Muslim voters and Yadav voters were not allowed to cast votes source says. The poor turnout is the result of the actions source says. Similarly, in other constituencies, the supporters of SP were not able to cast their votes source says.
