Mainpuri (Uttar Pradesh) [India], February 20 : Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader SP Singh Baghe, who is contesting against Akhilesh Yadav from Karhal seat in Mainpuri, said that the myth of Mainpuri being a 'Yadavland' will break during the assembly polls in the state.
He was in Mainpuri offering prayers at a temple amid the third phase of elections in the state. 
"The myth of Mainpuri being a 'Yadavland' will definitely break," said Baghel to ANI.
Baghel said that referring to Mainpuri as a 'Yadavland' is disrespectful towards communities of Brahmins, Rathores, Darji (tailor), Sunnar (goldsmith), Diwakars etc.
With a strong Yadav population, Karhal has for three decades been an SP fortress.
