The Congress isn't going to field candidates for the Kairana Lok Sabha and Noorpur assembly bypolls in Uttar Pradesh later this month, a gesture that the party says it hopes would improve the chances of the opposition's grand alliance to trump the BJP in these two seats.

Buoyed by the Opposition's grand success in Gorakhpur and Phulpur, the Rashtriya Lok Dal or RLD today said it would contest the May 28 Kairana Lok Sabha bypoll with the "full support" of like-minded, non-BJP parties.

Mayawati's Bahujan Samaj Party and the Samajwadi Party will join forces for the 2019 elections, Akhilesh Yadav told NDTV in Lucknow. "Based on our conversation, both our parties will together fight elections in 2019", the 44-year-old president of the Samajwadi Party, or SP, said.

Whether it's this one or the late night drama and tug-of-war between the two A's- Amit Shah and Ahmed Patel - or the victory due to faulty pens in the Haryana elections, there's always a hook if you look for it in the polling ring.

Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati on Monday indicated that her party might align with Samajwadi Party (SP) in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections after the one-time bitter rivals helped defeat the BJP in the Gorakhpur and Phulpur parliamentary bypolls.

BJP chief Amit Shah today acknowledged his party lost the crucial Lok Sabha bypolls in Uttar Pradesh because of the electoral understanding between the SP and the BSP.

As the Yogi Adityanath government in Uttar Pradesh celebrates a year today, an alliance partner has given it a poor assessment and has gone public with his view that there are "grave problems". Om Prakash Rajbhar, a minister in the UP cabinet, also warns that the ruling BJP "will lose elections" if the government doesn't shape up.

After its unexpected defeat in the recent Lok Sabha bypolls in Gorakhpur and Phulpur, the ruling BJP might be in for fresh trouble in this week's Rajya Sabha polls on 10 seats from Uttar Pradesh, with a sulking ally keeping its cards close to its chest.

The BJP's defeat in the recent Lok Sabha by-elections in Gorakhpur and Phulpur cannot be termed a "referendum" on the policies and programmes of the party's governments at the Centre or in Uttar Pradesh, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said today.

The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party's tally may drop by 100-110 seats in the next Lok Sabha polls in 2019, if the current trends and the results of the recent bypolls are an indicator, its ally Shiv Sena said in a gloomy prediction on Friday.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday cancelled his scheduled visit to Gonda because of "unavoidable reasons" and sent his deputy Dinesh Sharma in his place. The cancellation was after BJP's defeat in the Lok Sabha by-elections in Uttar Pradesh's Gorakhpur and Phulpur constituencies.

Enthused by his party's strong showing in the Gorakhpur and Phulpur bypolls, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav indicated today that his party was keen on burying its bitter rivalry with Mayawati-led Bahujan Samaj Party saying sometimes "past incidents have to be forgotten".
