In Uttar Pradesh's Mau district, a unique campaign is in full swing for Atul Rai, a Bahujan Samaj Party candidate. From party chief Mayawati to Samajwadi Party's Akhilesh Yadav, everyone has been urging the people to elect Mr Rai from Ghosi. However, the candidate himself is "missing" from the campaign scene for a fortnight in this unusual canvassi...

Congress chief Rahul Gandhi will on Thursday visit a woman who was gang-raped in Alwar in Rajasthan last month by six men who also beat up her husband.

A loud campaign around fears that the Electronic Voting Machines could be manipulated had put Ms Mayawati and her bitter rival Akhilesh Yadav on the same side of the EVM debate. There may be something else that the two leaders agree on: a grand alliance.

The much anticipated climax of the high decibel assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh is just a few hours away. The seven-phased polls spread over a month of voting had its share of firsts, avoidable gaffes and statements. It was for the first time since 1999 that Congress President Sonia Gandhi didn't campaign in Uttar Pradesh, from where she and so...

At a recent rally in the Uttar Pradesh campaign, the Prime Minister took a sharp jibe at Mayawati, the leader of Bahujan Samaj Party. The BSP, he remarked, is now 'Behenji Sampatti Party', a party of Mayawati's funds.

In the battle of acronyms in Uttar Pradesh, where political discourse during campaigning for assembly polls has been increasingly corrosive, Amit Shah today added a new one - KASAB.
