Meanwhile, Thirteen candidates -- 10 from the ruling NDA and three of Samajwadi Party -- were elected unopposed in the biennial elections to the Uttar Pradesh Legislative Council on Thursday.&nbsp;
With this, the Akhilesh Yadav-led Samajwadi Party will now have a leader of opposition in the council. There is no leader of opposition in the council as the main opposition party must have at least 10 members in the 100-member council to have a leader of opposition.&nbsp;
Samajwadi Party leader Shivpal Singh Yadav on Thursday started his Lok Sabha election campaign from western Uttar Pradesh with a 'Jan Sampark Yatra' and claimed that the INDIA bloc will defeat the BJP on all 80 seats in the state.&nbsp;
Yadav, who has been fielded by his party from Badaun Lok Sabha seat, also said that the ruling BJP is not finding a candidate against him. Earlier in a post in Hindi on X, Yadav said he shares a decades-long relationship with the region. "I have several stories and memories related to Badaun," he added.
