Alliance Parties Also Raising Their Voices?
WITC
The recent surveys and serious challenges from opposition parties in UP elections also gave chances to the one-time small alliance parties sources say. To show their togetherness a press conference was arranged to be addressed by representatives of allies and national BJP leaders including the national president. All was going well and leaders were at the conference place but sources say just before the start the leader of Apna Dal (Sonowal) Mrs Anupriya Patel refused to share the dais with the national president and Dharmendra till the number of seats are decided. In hurry, she was connected over the phone with a leader sitting at the headquarter, who tried to smoothen the feeling of the Apna Dal leader and agreed for 18 seats against the demand of 20 likewise Sanjay Nishad also got 10 seat sources say. Previously BJP leadership wanted to give 10 and 4 seats respectively. Apna Dal is likely to field candidates from Rampur, Varanasi, and Lucknow as well sources say. Sanjay Nishad is not ready with the names of such large candidates to contest and probably seats to go to powerful persons may or may not have strong political background sources say?
