BJP candidate Neelam Karwariya, whose husband, former BJP MLA Uday Bhan Karwariya, is lodged in Mirzapur district jail, won from Meja seat in Allahabad.

Lucknow:
Murder accused Raghuraj Pratap Singh alias Raja Bhaiya and Amanmani Tripathi, jailed don Mukhtar Ansari and gangsters Vijay Mishra and Sushil Singh are among over a dozen candidates with criminal backgrounds who won this election.

While Singh contested on a BJP ticket from Saiyadraza seat of Chandauli, Mukhtar is the BSP candidate from Mau Sadar. Raja Bhaiya and Amanmani were in the fray as Independents from Kunda and Nautanwa seats respectively, while Mishra was contesting as the Nirbal Indian Shoshit Hamara Aam Dal (NISHAD) Party candidate from Gyanpur seat.

Amanmani, who had contested from prison, was released on bail Friday. In November last year, the CBI had arrested him and filed a chargesheet declaring him guilty of killing his wife Sara and later portraying her death as a road accident. When Shivpal Yadav was state SP president, he had given Amanmani a ticket for the same seat. However, Akhilesh Yadav cancelled the ticket after becoming party chief and expelled him.

Amanmani defeated his closest rival, SP candidate Kaushal Kishore Singh, by a margin of 32,256 votes.

The expelled leader’s elder sisters Tanushree, Alankrita and uncle Ajeetmani campaigned for him in his absence as his parents — former minister and four-time MLA from the same Nautanwa seat, Amarmani Tripathi, and mother Madhumani — too are in jail serving life terms for the murder of poetess Madhumita Shukla. “Voters of Nautanwa have faith in our family and made Amanmani win,” said Ajeetmani.
