LUCKNOW: In no mood to let SP chief Akhilesh Yadav an easy ride in Karhal, the BJP sprang a surprise on Monday by fielding Union minister of state for law and justice Satya Pal Singh Baghel, a Dalit, against him.
The move has the potential to trigger a high-profile keen contest and Yadav versus Dalit clash on the home turf of Yadav family in Mainpuri.
