LUCKNOW: Contrary to the decision of the ruling Samajwadi Party (SP) in Uttar Pradesh (UP), the main opposition party, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), has decided to field candidate against Congress president and UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi in Lok Sabha election from Rae Bareli.
The BSP has started preparation for the 2014 Lok Sabha polls. Though the party has not officially released the names of the candidates it has finalised for the elections so far, senior BSP leaders announced the name of Ram Lakhan Pasi to be party's candidate from Rae Bareli. The announcement was made by the BSP state president Ram Achal Rajbhar and national general secretary Naseemuddin Siddiqui at a party function held in Rae Bareli on Wednesday.
The name of Pasi was announced after a meeting of workers in Rae Bareli on Wednesday. Pasi is local dalit leader of the BSP and does not have much political experience. Naseemuddin Siddiqui said that the party has started ground work in Congress's bastion. Pasi emerged as consensus s candidate in the meeting, said Rajbhar. Leader of opposition in UP assembly Swami Prasad Maurya has been assigned task to monitor Pasi's election campaign, he added.
Significantly, SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav has announced not to field any candidate against Sonia Gandhi from Rae Bareli in Lok Sabha elections as a 'thanksgiving geusture' in return for the Congress not putting up any candidate against his daughter-in-law Dimple in Kannauj Lok Sabha by-polls held in June this year. In fact, SP had not put up candidates against Sonia and her son Rahul, who is also Congress general secretary, in 2009 Lok Sabha elections.
However, Mayawati does not want to give any impression that she is going soft on the Congress, although her party is extending outside support to the UPA government at the centre on grounds that it wants to keep BJP out of power. Interestingly, of late, the Congress is giving more importance to Maya than Mulayam. However, Mayawati, sources said, fears that it will lose grip over its core vote bank -- dalits, if it gives more weightage to the Congress party.
