Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati would meet MlAs and and senior leaders from UP to polish off the strategy for the 2017 Assembly polls. The meeting is scheduled in New Delhi on Friday.
The meeting assumes importance as Mayawati is likely to announce Rajya Sabha and legislative Council candidates the same day.
Party sources confirmed in lucknow on Thursday that several senior leaders have left for New Delhi on Wednesday. The issues of finalising the vandidates and the resiult of the two bypolls at Bilari and Jangipur seats are also likely to figure. The party had bot fielded any candidate in the bypolls.
The BSP can send two members to the Rajya Sabha with their strength in the UP Assembly even as six of of its members would retire. The party is likely to repeat Satish Chandra Mishra and another dalit leader to the RS. In the Council, the BSP can get three seats.
