Lucknow, Oct. 24 -- All eyes will be on the bypoll result of Rampur assembly constituency from where the Samajwadi Party fielded its Lok Sabha member Mohammad Azam Khan's wife Tazeen Fatma to retain the seat.

Ever since the first assembly election in 1952, only a Muslim candidate has won from this seat.

The Rampur seat witnessed a four-cornered contest this time with Congress and Bahujan Samaj Party fielding Muslim candidates and the Bharatiya Janata Party fielding Bharat Bhushan Gupta in hope of consolidating Hindu votes.

The Congress, SP and BSP candidates may have caused division of Muslim votes to the advantage of the BJP.

The Rampur seat is being considered as the axis of bypolls to 11 assembly seats in the state.

The BSP, contest...
