Key Points

This could not only make the contest triangular on UPs 80 Lok Sabha seats, but on some seats, BSP candidates are likely to be in direct contest with either the NDA or INDIA bloc candidates..

BJP candidate Kripa Shankar Singh was in a comfortable position even after the SP announced to field Babu Singh Kushwaha, former minister in the BSP government, from Jaunpur but the scenario may change after BSPs announcement to field Srikala Reddy (wife of gangster-politician Dhananjay Singh) from the seat..

Addressing a public meeting in Moradabad, she said: The SP has given ticket to a candidate belonging to Hindu community on the seat where majority of the voters are Muslims, whereas the BJP denied tickets to Rajput community candidates in west UP..

After Boxer Vijender Singh joined the BJP, the BSP changed its candidate from Mathura seat, replacing Brahmin candidate Kamal Kant Upmanyu with Suresh Singh who belongs to OBC Jat community..

BSP has fielded Ram Niwas Sharma from Fatehpur Sikri Lok Sabha seat, Rajesh Kumar Devedi from Akbarpur, Hitendra Kumar aka Bunty Upadhyay a former BJP leader from Aligarh , Ashok Kumar Pandey from Unnao and Manish Tripathi has been fielded from Mirzapur seat. the brahmin candidates are likely to dent the NDA vote on various seats..
