Check Constituency-Wise Candidates Named by Samajwadi Party in 1st List:
Earlier in the day, the Election Commission announced the dates for Madhya Pradesh assembly polls. Voting will be held in a single-phase on November 28. The aspirants would be allowed to file their candidature between November 2-9. The nominations will be scrutinised on November 14. The election results will be declared on December 11 -- when the Commission will also declare the winners in Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Telangana and Mizoram.
Akhilesh Yadav's decision to go solo in Madhya Pradesh comes a couple of days after Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati vented her angst against the Congress and decided to contest the polls without a pre-poll alliance.
"BSP has already declined any tie up with the grand old party and I am sure other parties in other poll-bound states will also soon announce their candidates," Akhilesh said.
