Sp Congress Alliance

The BJP wishes to have as many parties as possible in the NDA, especially those like the TDP, which it feels has better 'winnability' now than earlier.

The experience of CPI(M)-Congress alliance in the past showed that it's best not to confuse voters with alliances that keep changing according to the demands of the time. It's akin to taking voters for a ride.

The Congress may have managed to secure its alliances with the Samajwadi Party (SP) and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), but its troubles are far from over.

It would be erroneous to conclude that the SP-Congress alliance is no match for the BJP's might in Uttar Pradesh. The BJP, on its part, seems to understand this very well too.

The Congress will contest 17 of Uttar Pradesh's 80 Lok Sabha seats in the forthcoming general election, and the Samajwadi Party of former Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav will be allotted the remaining 63, the INDIA bloc members said.

The struggling INDIA bloc received a welcome boost Wednesday after Samajwadi Party boss Akhilesh Yadav hinted that seat-share talks with the Congress - for Uttar Pradesh's 80 Lok Sabha seats - were nearly completed.

The Congress should not "betray" the Samajwadi Party and should make it clear if they want an alliance or not, SP president Akhilesh Yadav said on Saturday.
