    • Source: Alka Rai

      • Alka Rai is an Indian politician associated with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Alka Rai contested the Uttar Pradesh assembly election held in 2017. She got elected from the Mohammadabad.
      Her husband Krishnanand Rai was allegedly murdered by Mukhtar Ansari however Ansari could not be prosecuted due to witnesses turning hostile. The judgement observed that “the case is another example of prosecution failing due to hostile witnesses. If the witnesses in this case had the benefit of the Witness Protection Scheme, 2018, during trial, the result may have been different.”


      Electoral history


      She defeated Ansari's brother in the 2017 Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly election. However this was not the first victory of Alka Rai in an assembly election as she had defeated her rival in the by-poll of year 2005, when her husband was shot dead.
