LUCKNOW: Bahujan Samaj Party’s decision to not contest the upcoming bypolls in Mainpuri, Khatauli and Rampur has raised eyebrows in the political circles. More so, since the party had contested the Azamgarh parliamentary bypoll, breaking away from its tradition of not contesting bypolls.
Like Mainpuri and Rampur, Azamgarh was also an SP bastion where BSP fielded a Muslim candidate and garnered 29% votes. The Samajwadi Party lost the bypoll.
