Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) supremo Mayawati may have been late to the election jamboree in Uttar Pradesh, but that hasn't stopped her from creating a stir in the electoral battlefield of 2024. What till now appeared to be a direct fight bet­ween the Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance and the Samajwadi Party-led Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance suddenly acquired a new twist after the BSP announced its candidates. Bucking the percep­tion of being the BJP's 'B' team, the party seems bent on spoiling their prospects, not just in the west but also in Purvanchal (eastern UP).
