Congress gives 8 seats to RLD in UP

Congress on Monday March 10,2014 virtually left a major part of western Uttar Pradesh to allies by giving 8 seats to Ajit Singh’s RLD and 3 to Mahan Dal of Keshav Maurya.

The 8 seats given to RLD are - Fatehpur Sikri, Kairana, Baghpat, Bulandshahr, Mathura, Hathras, Bijnore and Amroha.

RLD has 5 MPs in the 15th Lok Sabha including Ajit Singh from Baghpat and his son Jayant Chaudhary from Mathura.

AICC General Secretary Madhusudan Mistry also indicated that Apna Dal could be roped in to ensure an umbrella alliance of Jat-Kurmi and some non-Yadav OBC communities along with traditional support base of Congress.

Apna Dal is a Kurmi outfit, while Mahan Dal launched by horticulturist castes who go by the surnames of Shakyas, Mauryas and Kushwahas, has presence among ‘non-Yadav’ and `non-Lodh’ voters in the region.

Western U.P. has some 25 of the 80 constituencies in the state, which accounts for the largest number of seats in Lok Sabha
