 The ruling Congress and its supporter Samajwadi Party are at loggerheads over the seat sharing arrangement for the Lok Sabha elections. The negotiations between the two parties for an electoral understanding ahead of the polls have virtually come to a standstill after SP general secretary Amar Singh unilaterally announced his party's candidates for 58 seats, thereby irking the Congress leadership.
In another red rag to Congress, the SP leader said he would talk to NCP chief Sharad Pawar for a seat-sharing pact, on grounds that the Congress was not giving regional parties their due.
Can differences between the two parties unsettle the political calculations of the Congress party ? This week on The Big Fight, we ask, With no signs of an immediate deal, is it time to look at new allies?
