The sons of electoral contestants in this high profile Lok Sabha constituency are batting for their fathers and mother, campaigning from door to door, and seeking people's support for them.

Pankaj Singh, son of Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh, who is contesting from Lucknow, is campaigning for his father.

"I am a party worker and I am campaigning as our Home Minister is fighting from here. The public have already made up their mind. We are going to win by a bigger margin this time," said Singh, an MLA.

"We have a long association with the people of Lucknow," he said.

Kush Sinha, the son Poonam Sinha who is contesting on the SP ticket, said that it is his duty to campaign for his mother.
