What is common with the BJP & BSP-SP alliance is their strong organisational base. While Greater Prayag includes Allahabad, Phulpur, Kaushambi and Banda; Vindhya region has Mirzapur and Roberstganj (SC) LS seats. While the BJP has fielded Rita Bahuguna Joshi, the daughter of former chief minister, as its nominee from Allahabad, SP-BSP’s candidate is Rajendra Patel. A Yadav candidate in Phulpur and Patel candidate in the adjacent Allahabad seat is a good political decision,” SP worker Rehan Ahamad explained. In Robersganj, Apna Dal has fielded Pakori Lal Kol against the Alliance candidate Bhai Lal Kol.
