"We would certainly give a strong candidate against Mrs Gandhi in Rae Bareli but selection of candidate is yet to be made," Yadav said.
Mrs Bachchan was disqualified from the membership of the Rajya Sabha for holding the post of chairperson of the Uttar Pradesh Film Development Council,which has been identified as a post of profit.
The Samajwadi Party had already announced to send Mrs Bachchan again to RS from Uttar Pradesh.
Mrs Gandhi resigned on the same ground and subsequently announced to re-contest from Rae Bareli Lok Sabha seat on Thursday.
