SP likely to reject Amanmani Tripathi ticket

Published on: 

Samajwadi Party is likely to deny ticket to Amanmani Tripathi from Natunva assembly seat in Gorakhpur district.  SP had announced Amanmani Tripathi as its candidate from Nautanva assembly seat in Gorakhpur district in October. Aman Mani   was arrested by the CBI in Delhi last week for his alleged involvement in the murder of his wife. He is the son of four-time legislator Amar Mani Tripathi and Madhu Mani, both of whom are serving life term for murdering a poetess, Madhumita Shukla, in 2003. Aman Mani had claimed that his wife Sara, 27, died in a road accident in Ferozabad when they were on their way to Delhi for a holiday in July, 2015. However sensing a foul play Sara’s mother Seema Singh had petitioned the chief minister demanding an inquiry by the CBI into the matter. The state government later recommended a probe by the CBI. State president of the Samajwadi party shivpal Yadav said here that the party is seized of the matter and party will reconsider its decision to give ticket Amnmani Tipathi. The ticket is likely to be given to Kaushalendra Pratap Singh, the sitting MlA from this seat. Kaushlendra Pratap Singh had won from Natunva seat as Congress candidate in 2012 assembly election. The MlA has switched loyalty and has already joined the Samajwadi party.
