New Delhi, March 19 (ANI): Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Mulayam Singh Yadav will contest Lok Sabha polls from Azamgarh parliamentary seat along with his traditional Mainpuri seat. The move to field Mulayam from Azamgarh, a constituency dominated by Yadavs and Muslims which is near to Varanasi, is seen as an attempt to counter the BJP. It is said that by fielding Mulayam from Azamgarh, the party hopes it would have a cascading effect on other constituencies and would prevent the BJP from capitalizing on the "Modi effect." Meanwhile, the BJP said that SP is trying to polarize the society on communal issues but it will not succeed.
