Atal Behari Vajpayee (BJP) vs Ram Jethmalani (Ind)
Constituency: Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh
Ram Jethmalani is going all out to ensure that Lucknow won`t be a cakewalk for his former friend and boss, Prime Minister Vajpayee. After the initial flip-flop over his candidacy, Jethmalani is going hammer and tongs against Vajpayee and has launched a relentless attack on a man whom he once served in the cabinet as his law minister. Jethmalani unleashed a tactic -- asking questions repeatedly-- that had damaged the standing of then Congress prime minister Rajiv Gandhi ahead of the 1989 parliamentary elections.
