BSP candidate Mukul Upadhyay today became emotional and broke down while addressing a rally in Ramlila ground of Kavinagar area here. The incident took place shortly before BSP supremo Mayawati's arrival at the rally venue.

Addressing the huge gathering, Upadhyay appealed people to vote for the party and suddenly started weeping, saying: "I am working too hard in theses polls. For the last two months I wake up at 5 AM and go to bed by 2 to 3 in the morning."

"Once I slipped in the toilet and my head was hurt badly," he said. Some other party leaders who were present at the dais came to his rescue and consoled him. Later he claimed that his rival candidate of Congress, Raj Babbar, will not get even the second position in the polls.

"I am very confident of my win in the elections. If Congress comes to second number, I would then quit politics," Upadhyay promised to people.
