It was not probably expected by Akhilesh Yadav that BJP will make the contest so tough source says. BSP has also fielded one popular Muslim face to cut the Muslim votes ultimately to help BJP sources say. Staunch supporters of SP are somewhat not happy with the selection of a candidate from the constituency source says local leaders wanted to field Ramakant Yadav but leaders of SP decided to field Dharmendra Yadav, a close family member this selection has also given chance to BJP to provide tough fight despite having all ten MLAs. Source says Muslims are sure that BSP is ultimately contesting to help BJP and probably not go with BSP but the BJP candidate is also from Yadav caste hence divisions in Yadav’s vote are unavoidable. All combinations and calculations favour SP but no one knows the mood of voters and the recent Ms Nupur Sharma case likely to consolidate Hindu and Muslim votes on personal preference source says.
