The party believes all is not lost, especially after Sunday's win in Bhadohi, where Muslims voted for the SP despite aggressive wooing by the BSP.
The announcement of Masud's induction was made at a press conference organised by Madani at the India Islamic Centre in Delhi and attended by SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav and general secretary Amar Singh. Masud was earlier in the Rashtriya Kranti Party (RKP), set up by Kalyan after he was expelled from the BJP.
His elder brother Mehmood Madani is a Rajya Sabha member belonging to the Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) whereas younger brother Maudood joined the BSP this year.
Announcing that Madani was joining the party, the SP used the occasion to release a CD showing the BSP's "close association" with the BJP, including footage showing Mayawati sharing the dais with Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi and tying a rakhi on BJP leader Lalji Tandon's wrist.
Apparently, no one in the party in Lucknow was aware of either Madani joining the party or about the CD to be shown at the occasion. Madani is reportedly expecting an SP ticket from Muzaffarnagar.
Amidst all this hectic poll activity, Kalyan has been pushed to the background. While his son Rajvir was made the SP general secretary, the party is now silent on whether he will be given a Lok Sabha ticket, the basic point on which Kalyan parted ways with the BJP.
"He was asked to contest from any place he wanted but so far there is no decision from either side," said SP spokesperson Rajendra Chowdhary.

thanks to their own disunited and unfocussed voting kafir hindus r their own worst enemies.
The way congress,SP
If SP is all out to woo Muslims en-block voting then Hindus must vote en-block to make BJP a ruling party. BJP deserves be at the Union Govt as they are the one who can restore the lost glory of India.
According to BJP's and your (being its sympathizer or a worker) warped logic, when Nitish Kumar woos Muslims in Bihar with frenzy, it is all right. But, when other Parties do it, it is wrong. If the BJP is really sincere about appeasement, it must immediately cut off ties with Nitish. But will it do it ? Therefore, do not throw stones living in glass houses at others. You got it?
Mr. Secularist, how abt your double standards? when u woo muslims it is secular. when other woo Hindus it is communal. look at yourself first mr. secular.
Educated Indians are sleeping and some discredited leaders are fooling the whole nation in the name of secularism, social justice, kisans etc etc. Unless the common man breaks his silence and comes forward to vote and choose the most deserving candidates, the fate of the country won't change at all and 100 such elections will also be not enough to cleanse the system of the rotten elements. This is the time to wake up and question our own conscience- or suffering for next 5 years.
