“People from dalit and other backward classes must exercise their franchise which they have got as a result of the long and arduous struggle by Dr Baba Saheb Ambedkar,” she said.
Congress candidate and sitting MLA Rita Bahuguna Joshi also dismissed presence of any BJP wave or polarisation.
Joshi who is facing BJP national President Rajnath Singh from here said Lucknow is a city of broad-minded working class which does not get swayed by such propaganda.
“It is a very interesting election here. Lucknow has always sprung surprises. The election here is a direct contest between Congress and BJP while the parties will be left behind.
There is no wave in Lucknow,” she said. The election result will depend on the performance of the candidates and their experience, former UPCC President said.
