Addressing media persons in Press Club in Dehradun, the state in-charge of the party, Shamshuddin Raaen said that Mohammad Shahzad, Aditya Brijlal, Surender Chaudhary, Surender Saini and Darshan Kumar Sharma have been appointed as in-charge of five constituencies-Laksar, Jhabreda, Khanpur, Piran Kaliyar and Haridwar (rural) respectively.
The state in-charge said that on the directions of the national convenor of the party, Mayawati, all the appointed in-charges belong to diverse castes as a part of the social engineering of the party. “Our in-charges include candidates from a Brahmin to a Dalit family by Mayawati on the basis of social engineering. BSP is the only party across the party that focuses on it for the future development,” stated Raaen. He said that their chances of winning from these seats are very high as BSP has about 40,000 confirmed votes in each of these five constituencies.
