Lok Sabha polls:Mayawati to create a tough pitch for Narendra Modi in Uttar Pradesh

Allahabad: As you travel around Allahabad and nearby Dalit villages, the one sentiment you pick strongly is that Netaji (Mulayam Singh) is not the flavour of the season. With Congress not in the reckoning, the field is wide open for a tussle between the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Bahujan Samaj Party. The mood is certainly pro Modi but the BSP has the Muslims and OBCs backing it. Mr Narendra Modi’s close aide, Amit Shah is taking farmers from UP on all expense paid trips to Gujarat to show them the state’s development in the agrarian sector.
