BSP on Thursday Jan 05,2017 surged ahead of its rivals by declaring names of its
official candidates for 100 of the 403 Assembly seats in Uttar Pradesh,
giving over one third to Muslims.
Muslims account for nearly 20 per cent of the state's electorate and perhaps keeping this in mind, members of that community have been given tickets in 36 of the 100 seats spread over 20 districts declared by her on Thursday Jan 05,2017
"List of candidates for other seats will be released soon," BSP said in a release.

Giving caste-wise details of the shortlisted candidates, she had said that 87 tickets will be given to Dalits, 97 to Muslims and 106 to OBCs.
Of the 113 tickets earmarked for upper castes, Brahmins will get 66, Kshatriyas 36, and Kayasthas, Vaishyas and Punjabi 11, she had said.
