LUCKNOW: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday sprung a surprise by fielding junior law and justice minister Satya Pal Singh Baghel, a Dalit, against Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav, in a move that could potentially trigger a keenly watched Yadav versus Dalit clash in the high profile assembly seat in Mainpuri, UP.
Even as the saffron outfit kept his candidature under wraps, Baghel turned up to file his nomination soon after Akhilesh submitted his papers from the constituency which goes to poll in the third phase of UP elections.
