Uttar Pradesh Legislative Council By Poll Election Schedule 2017

The Election Commission today announced the bypoll schedule for four vacant seats of the Uttar Pradesh Legislative Council, which might enable Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to take the Upper House route to enter the legislature before a six-month window expires next month.

Adityanath, who took over as the chief minister on March 19, has to become a legislator within six months of assuming office and the deadline expires on September 19.

Election Schedule 2017 

•  The vacancies have arisen following the resignation of four Samajwadi Party (SP) legislators -- Buqqal Nawab, Yashwant Singh, Sarojini Agarwal and Ashok Bajpai.
• The term of Nawab and Singh was to end in 2022 and that of Agarwal and Bajpai in 2021. However, they quit all of a sudden this month. Sarojini Agarwal, Ashok Bajpai and Buqqal Nawab have since joined the BJP. 
• While no names have yet been declared by any party for the by-polls, speculation is rife in political circles that the four seats would be used to send Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Deputy Chief Ministers Keshav Prasad Maurya and Dinesh Sharma to the state assembly, a constitutional obligation they have to fulfil within six months of assuming office.
• Two other members of the BJP ministry in Uttar Pradesh -- Swatantra Dev Singh and Mohsin Raza -- are not members of either House of the state assembly.
