Lucknow: The 1st Phase of Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections 2012 is going to be held on 8th February. Like in offering freebies, there was a kind of race among political parties in fielding Muslim candidates as well. The result is that there are 109 Muslims in the fray for the polls due on Wednesday for 55 seats of 403-seat state assembly.
About half of 109 Muslim candidates are from three major parties. While Samajwadi Party has fielded 28 Muslims for 1st Phase, ruling Bahujan Samaj Party has given 18 tickets and Congress 12. Among others, Peace Party has 10 Muslim candidates for this phase while Rashtriya Ulama Council has fielded 5. Independents are 24.
Top three major parties are contesting all 55 seats of 1st Phase alone. Out of 55 seats, 12 are reserved for Scheduled Castes.
