The Mayawati-led party has given 87 tickets to dalits, 97 to Muslims and 106 to OBCs. With this, the party has released list of 401 candidates. Candidates on the remaining two seats in Sonebhadra will be decided after a decision is made if they are general or reserved for ST, a party press release said.
