The battle for the Mainpuri Lok Sabha seat in Uttar Pradesh always draws significant attention. Many are wondering if Samajwadi Party leader Dimple Yadav can surpass her father-in-law, the late Mulayam Singh Yadav's record victory margin of 3,64,666 votes from the 2014 Lok Sabha polls.
While political analysts in UP suggest it won't be easy for Dimple, as there won't be a 'sympathy wave' this time, many residents of Mainpuri, a Samajwadi Party stronghold, believe the INDI alliance will help her win with an even larger margin.
