In UP’s Mau, Mayawati Seeks Vote for ‘Bahubali’ Mukhtar Ansari

Mukhtar Ansari faces 40 criminal cases, including those of murder and kidnapping.

BSP chief Mayawati on Tuesday sought votes for jailed gangster-turned-politician Mukhtar Ansari, arguing that his victory will erase his "bahubali (muscleman)" image.

I urge you to vote in large numbers, thereby ensuring a comprehensive victory for Mukhtar Ansari...once Mukhtar wins the assembly polls, his bahubali (muscleman) image will gradually diminish.
