Lucknow, 12/6: As was expected, Samajwadi Party (SP) president Akhilesh Yadav on Wednesday resigned from the Karhal assembly seat in Uttar Pradesh and decided to keep the Kannauj Lok Sabha seat, from where he emerged victorious in the recently concluded poll.
Akhilesh had earlier dropped hints that he might resign as MLA and keep the Kannauj LS seat. “The decision to resign from the UP assembly membership and retain Kannauj was made after consulting party leaders and workers from the two constituencies,”
