BSP won't file candidate on Kannauj Seat - Mayawati

Former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati's Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) on Wednesday said they will not field a candidate in the upcoming bypoll for the Kannauj parliamentary constituency. The BSP's decision will make the the clash smoother for present Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav's wife and Samajwadi Party (SP) candidate Dimple Yadav, who filed her nomination from the Kannauj Lok Sabha constituency on Tuesday. The bypoll will be held on June 24.
Dimple, who tried her hand at the ballots earlier in 2009, is expected to have better luck this time as the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) have already declared they will not field candidates for the election.
