It is known that the Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav himself replaced his nephew as the candidate is known to have a strong hold of Kannauj on Thursday, 3 days after Tej Pratap was announced as a candidate.
Another candidate of the Samajwadi Party Rakesh Kashyap who filed his documents on April 22 came to know that SP has cancelled his name and he has been replaced with a candidate whose maternal uncle is a MLC.

In Kannauj, the local leadership started opposing Tej Pratap’s candidature.”
