BSP to contest from all constituencies

The Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) will contest from all 234 Assembly constituencies in the State on its own strength, its national general secretary Suresh Mane said on Tuesday.
He told reporters that the party was looking at long-term political gains and would not limit itself to contesting from a few seats as part of an alliance.
It contested from 164 seats in the 2006 Assembly elections, polling in 1.76 per cent of votes.
