APTOPIX India Elections
A stray pup walks near elephant statues, political symbol of the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), standing at Ambedkar Park in Noida, on the outskirts of New Delhi, India, Tuesday, March 6, 2012. Mayawati, the bottom-caste dalit leader who is the state's incumbent chief minister and leader of the BSP, suffered a crushing defeat in the key state elections as the socialist Samajwadi Party's victory appeared strong enough to allow it to form a government on its own.
