BJP MP Shangamitra Maurya cries after party refuses Lok Sabha ticket

In a heartrending incident in Badaun, BJP MP Shangamitra Maurya was seen in tears after the party decided not to field her for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. The emotional moment unfolded during the BJP's 'Prabudh Jan Sammelan' program, where Maurya broke down on stage while waiting for Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to arrive. The video of Maurya's tearful reaction quickly went viral, drawing attention to the intense emotions surrounding candidate selections during election season.

The BJP opted to nominate Durvijay Shakya instead of Maurya for the Badaun Lok Sabha seat, prompting speculation about the reasons behind the decision. Observers suggest that Maurya's father, Swami Prasad Maurya's rebellion against the BJP during the 2022 Uttar Pradesh assembly elections might have influenced the party's decision. Despite Maurya's previous electoral success, having won the Badaun seat in the 2019 elections, the BJP's refusal to field her has stirred controversy and debate within political circles.
