"We have announced our support to BSP candidate Dr Raina from Srinagar, where we haven't fielded anyone ourselves," the party's state unit parliamentary board chairman Satpaul Sharma told reporters.

But Samata was contesting on its own in Udhampur and Anantnag, he added. "We have no tie-up with any political party on these two seats," he said.
