“Giving tickets only on the basis of previous performance will only benefit rivals and we cannot afford to see reverses for failure to forsee them,” he said.
Without assessing the situation and winnability of each candidate before fielding them would be like helping BSP, he said, citing the example of Sareni in Rae Bareli.
SP has given ticket to its sitting MLA in Sareni but situation there has undergone a major change since 2012 and now even their supporters are against them, he said, apprehending that the seat could go to BSP in case the same candidate is repeated.
It is essential that both the alliance partners work towards assessing each others’ strong and weak points seat-wise or else it will cause more harm than benefit to the ideals for which both the parties have come together, he said.
