Alliance Announcements in the Political Arena
Akhilesh Yadav, the head of the Samajwadi Party (SP), said a day ago that his party would establish an alliance with the Rashtriya Lok Dal for the Lok Sabha elections. He highlighted the importance of a strong INDIA coalition and said that more negotiations with the Congress would be held to determine the state’s seat-sharing arrangement.
Former MPs, MLAs, and MLCs were among the party leaders that Yadav met with in Lucknow. He called attention to winnability as the standard by which seats are decided, and he asked party employees to make sure that party supporters are registered on the new voter list. Yadav has charged that certain party workers’ names were taken off the list by the state’s BJP government.
Seat-sharing negotiations are underway between the Congress and the SP ahead of the anticipated April–May Lok Sabha elections this year.
