Lucknow/UNI: With his sister-in-law Aparna Yadav joining the BJP in Delhi on Wednesday, Samajwadi Party (SP) president Akhilesh Yadav, sparing no space to the saffron camp, will contest the Assembly polls in Uttar Pradesh.

SP sources told UNI today that the party president will contest the assembly polls.

BJP chief minister Yogi Adityanath already announced to contest from Gorakhpur seat, now it is the turn of Akhilesh Yadav.

"In a day or two , Mr Yadav himself will announce from which seat he will contest," sources said.

Earlier, Yadav had said he would not contest the polls and would prefer to focus on every seat in the state.

Presently he is the Lok Sabha MP from Azamgarh.

If Akhilesh Yadav contests, then it will be the first time, he will throw his hat in the rings of the assembly polls.
