LUCKNOW: The BJP on Tuesday released its sixth list with eight more candidates, including two women --- Gudiya Katheriya from Auraiya and Poonam Sankhwar from Rasulabad in Kanpur Dehat. The party so far has declared 204 candidates for the first four phases.
Five of these eight candidates are Dalits, all for reserved seats. Two of these seats were vacant -- Amanpur and Auraiya -- due to the death of sitting BJP MLAs. Out of the remaining six seats, the party had five seats and dropped two of its sitting MLAs. Three sitting MLAs and one runner-up has been repeated.
