BSP to abstain from UP local body polls
Vijay Upadhyay | Agra
Taking an unprecedented stand on the local body elections being held in Uttar Pradesh, the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) has decided to abstain from contesting these elections warning the aspiring candidates that they will neither get the party flag nor the "elephant" as a symbol of party support. The elections in Uttar Pradesh will be held in three phases on October 28, October 31 and November 3. Elections to 193 municipalities would be held in the first phase while the 12 municipal corporations would go to polls on October 31. Elections to 420 town areas would be held in the third phase on November 3.
Talking to The Pioneer, Kaptaan Singh Kushwah, Coordinator, Agra parliamentary seat of the BSP said that this decision had been taken in party interest after the experience of the previous Zila Panchayat elections held in the state when the BSP had lost a great deal of elected members to defections into the Samajwadi Party.
