"I will not leave Mainpuri seat after winning polls. I am also contesting from Azamgarh due to pressure of party workers. As BJP leader Narendra Modi is contesting from Varanasi, partymen wanted me to counter him by contesting from Azamgarh", Yadav, who files three sets of papers, told.
"Due to my contesting polls from there, the position of party has got better in Purvanchal (eastern Uttar Pradesh)," Yadav claimed.
