Not only that, the buzz in Lucknow is that national-level leaders like Vajpayee and Advani may not take active interest in the election campaign since it is seen as a lost cause. What has made things worse for Katiyar is the presence of the Apna Dal candidate—Prabha Singh Lodhi—who has the support of BJP rebel and caste-mate Uma Bharati. Lodhi is hoping for a slice of the backward vote. The BJP may have decided not to aim at the impossible—defeating Sonia—but it wants to save face by at least getting more votes than the candidate backed by Uma. Good luck, Katiyar!
