Lucknow, March 26 (IANS) The Samajwadi Party (SP) has fielded 10 candidates for the Lok Sabha election in Gujarat.

Modi has been eyeing the 80 Lok Sabha seats in Uttar Pradesh.

The party has fielded candidates from Banaskantha, Patan, Porbandar, Jamnagar, Junagarh, Kheda, Dahod, Baroda, Surat and Rajkot, a press statement released late Tuesday said.

It has also fielded a candidate for the legislative assembly by-election from Somnath.
