	Apna Dal may upset other's calculations in UP bypolls
		The Kurmis, a Backward Caste, have emerged as an impregnable vote bank for the Dal and once the Dal threw its hat into the ring, the BSP and SP had little choice but to field Kurmis in a bid to split votes.
		Though this may sound a mite exaggerated, it cannot be denied that in the seven years since it was formed, the Apna Dal has emerged as a force to reckon with.
		However, the BSP, with the support of its Dalit vote bank, may have the last laugh with the Dal's rise because it will gain from the split in the BJP and SP's vote banks.

		But over the years the Apna Dal had distanced itself from the BJP and the party fought on its own in the 2002 Assembly elections by fielding candidates in 308 seats.
		Against this backdrop, the impact of the move by Mr Kumar to tie-up with the Apna Dal might prove to be crucial keeping in view of the present fluid political situation in UP.
