HE2 September 23, Samajwadi Party (SP) leader Azam Khan left the Sitapur prison after 23 months of imprisonment, hundreds of supporters greeted him with slogans and desserts. Mr Khan, who fought in a long war to deteriorate or bail against 104 cases against him, seemed to be a patriarch in the autumn of his political career. He went, ungainable roar, biting the brightest days of biting. Even though his supporters raised the slogan ‘Inquilab Aaya (Revolution here)’, he only waved them. The revolution was the farthest thing from the mind of the imprisonment and the need for medical recovery, which kept him away from the victories of the political world. When he reached Rampur City only once, he punched his so -called rivals and allowed him to return to himself.
For decades, Rampur was called him. He was just at home last week. His cavalry stopped. For years, the supporters who put the streets in line fell to several hundred. The party president Akhilesh Yadav had made positive voices in the early hours of the day because he was the victim of Mr. Khan’s Adityyanath government’s blood feud politics and promised to bury all cases against him after he assumed the power of SP. However, the absence of Mr. Yadav in Sitapur and Rampur confidence in the idea that Mr. Khan was left to defend him. It was the former Turk at the party directed by young weapons. Sadık supporter Moradabad deputy Ruchi Veera took him in his release. Mohibbullah Nadwi was missing on the stage. In the presence of Ms. Veera and in the absence of Mr. Nadwi, wars were drawn for both SP and one of the founding fathers.
Last year, while Mr. Khan cools his heels in Sitapur prison, Mr. Yadav said that two candidates for Rampur and Moradabad election zones, respectively. Mr. Nadwi, the imam of Jama Masjid in the New Delhi, was the last -minute gambling of Mr. Yadav, Mr. Hasan, the deputy who was a widespread march of Hindutva forces in the 2019 general elections.
None of Mr. Khan would have. The nonsense response to the party’s choice, although he did not shake his head from Mr. Yadav in Rampur, his preferred candidate, meant that Mr. Hasan was replaced by Mrs. Veera at the last minute. Mr. Khan won half of the war.
While many of them foreseen to continue the grass war, some of the confidants of Mr. Khan, his wife and former Rajya Sabha deputy Tazeen Fatima recently met Bahujan Samaj Party Supremo, Mayayawati and selectively leaked that Mr. Khan could be ready to mount Elephant. Others point out that Mr. Khan can unite Asaduddin Owaisi to combine Muslim youth. Far from him. Mr. Khan has always been his own man, he is a political general who is successful on his passion for multitude. 10 times the legislator is best when faced with an enemy. For years, he was the go-to man of Mulayam Singh Yadav until he drowned briefly by Amar Singh. It led to a strange situation where Mr. Khan did not explicitly rebelled against his senior Yadav, but breastfeeding his bruise ego at home. Meanwhile, Mr. Singh’s preferred candidate film star Jayapraada won the ramper seat for the second party for the second time in 2009. Mr. Khan swallowed the bitter pill, but ten years later he returned to him when he was the candidate of BJP.
This time the challenge is more upright. Mr. Yadav is the undisputed party Supremo, and the Adityanath government has not always been above the board of directors in lawsuits against political opponents. Mr. Khan’s family faces 160 single cases. Worse, Mr. Khan was disqualified from objection to the elections. At best, he can take the role of a remote control and support his loyalty. This is a role that will be a foreign role to a man who has been the center of attention since the early 1990s, when minorities have passed as a grieving scream since the beginning of the 1990s. Indeed, with his aggressive stance during the agitation of Ayodhya, Mr. Khan promised a revolution that would bring the masses to the streets to fulfill their demands and manifested himself as the sole spokesperson of the greatest minority in Uttar Pradesh.
This is a role he doesn’t choose anymore. The king of the political chessboard once, Azam Khan may now hope to be a knight.
