Leading its rival parties in announcing candidates for the 2017 Assembly polls, the ruling Samajwadi Party is set to announce the next list of candidates next week. The party has announced candidates for 153 seats it had lost in 2017 Assembly polls.
To prevent cross voting during polls to Rajya Sabha and Legislative Council, the SP had delayed the announcement of candidates for the seats it had won. To beat potential anti-incumbency among voters, the party may deny tickets to about 100 sitting MLAs, said a well placed party source.
