Introducing his daughter-in-law as the party candidate for
the Firozabad by-poll, caused by his son Akhilesh vacating it to retain Kannauj
seat, Mulayam Singh promised free water for irrigation to farmers from
government tubewells.

He said the central government had miserably
failed to arrest the price rise which had hit the common man, while the state
government too was doing nothing except promoting its own interests.


Party general secretary Ram Gopal Yadav appealed to the voters to
ensure sound defeat of both the Congress and Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP)
candidates.

According to local political analysts, the battle in
Firozabad would be between her and cine star-turned-politician Raj Babbar, who
is contesting on a Congress ticket.

Raj Babbar lost the Fatehpur
Sikri seat by a narrow margin to the BSP's Seema Upadhyaya in the April-May
general elections.
