Nirahua, who had lost to Akhilesh Yadav in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections from Azamgarh, won the bypolls held for the seat last month. He defeated SP candidate Dharmendra Yadav in the opposition party's bastion. The MP said the SP chief had smelt defeat in the byelections due to which he did not field his wife Dimple Yadav and instead nominated cousin Dharmendra Yadav to harm political career of the leader, who is more dynamic than him.
