"The result of Uttar Pradesh polls are most important for the Presidential election slated for July. The BJP wants to ensure that a person of RSS background enters the Rashtrapati Bhawan," CPI National Secretary Atul Kumar Anjaan claimed.
President Pranab Mukherjee's tenure as the Head of the State ends in July. He had assumed office on July 25, 2012.
"BJP will need votes of MLAs for seeing its candidate through to the highest constitutional post and the results of Punjab, Uttarakhand and UP elections will be deciding factors. So these elections are most important for the party," he said.
