He will be representing the Quami Ekta Dal (QED) this time and is a sitting legislator from Mau district, a seat he has represented four times.
Eunuchs too have decided to jump into the fray and it has been decided that Kamla, a eunuch, would take on Modi in the big battle in the temple town.
A resolution to this effect was passed at a eunuch convention in Gorakhpur this week and eunuchs from Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Odisha, Delhi, Madhya Pradesh and Jharkhand have been asked to travel to Varanasi the coming week and begin door-to-door campaign for their candidate.
Sonam Singh Yadav, national spokesperson of the eunuchs, said while a candidate will be fielded in Varanasi against the Gujarat chief minister, the community elsewhere would pitch in to "make Mulayam Singh Yadav the next prime minister".
We are supporters of 'Netaji', as Mulayam is called by party workers, and believe that he would do well as India's PM, she told IANS.
