Two biggies alliance for UP polls
The Congress officially announced that it will join hands with the Samajwadi party for the upcoming assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh.
Congress leader, who confirmed the news, also said that, the two parties will contest the polls under Akhilesh’s leadership, a decision that enjoyed Congress chief ministerial candidate Sheila Dikshit’s wholehearted support.
Currently, both the parties are busy in discussing the seat sharing. The SP is likely to give around 120 out of the total 403 seats to the Congress, Rashtriya Lok Dal and the Krishna Patel faction of the Apna Dal.
The Congress’ announcement came a day after the Election Commission allotted the SP’s ‘bicycle’ poll symbol to the faction led by Akhilesh Yadav.
