Now it is Mulayam's turn to pay back in the same coin. He chose Lakhan Singh Yadav, because he belongs to the Phatak Gotra of the Ghosi Yadavs as against Ashok, who is from the Dandole kin. The former have 800 villages under them and the latter are spread out in 12 villages. If this split can be brought about then Ashok may lose.
Everyone in Shikohabad is talking about the split in the Ghosi Yadav vote. The Yadavs deny that voting will take place on kinship lines.
In Fatehpur, Sansaar Singh, a candidate of the Bhartiya Kisan Kamgar Party, who has been ditched by the Jats for another Jat candidate is trying to mobilise his gotra of Indolia clan to swing votes in his favour.
as against the chahars and chaudhry's, which are the other two Jat clans.
