“In the ongoing elections for chairmen of district panchayats,it is not the BSP candidates but the DMs and SPs,who seem to be actually in the fray,” he said.

“Mayawati is corrupting the political system in the state and his party will stage demonstrations to check such tendencies,” the SP president said.

In many places,members of district Panchayat were being pressurised by the DMs and the SPs to vote in favour of BSP candidates,he alleged.

“In Kanpur,an SP candidate was forced to withdraw his nomination paper by the DM,” Yadav said.
