Congress Sp Alliance

The fallout of the Congress' poor show in the Haryana election - which has included a stinging attack from allies Shiv Sena (UBT) and Trinamool - rumbles on, with the Samajwadi Party snubbing a seat-share ask for by-polls to 10 UP Assembly seats.

Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray on Friday said he will back any candidate announced by the Congress and NCP (SP) as Maha Vikas Aghadi's chief ministerial face.

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.

After Samajwadi Party (SP) Chief Akhilesh Yadav claimed that he hasn't yet been invited to Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, the Congress on Sunday said that yatra's detailed route and programme in Uttar Pradesh will be shared with INDIA alliance constituents

Samajwadi Party leader Ram Gopal Yadav on Friday said the Congress and the Akhilesh Yadav-led party have finalised their seat-sharing agreement in UttarPradesh. SP will declare more candidates soon for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.

Digvijaya Singh has reacted over state Congress chief Kamal Nath's remark on Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav saying one should not say anything like that about anyone.

Congress veteran Digvijaya Singh on Monday asserted his party colleague Kamal Nath wanted to have an alliance with the Samajwadi Party (SP) for the next month's Madhya Pradesh assembly polls "with full honesty".

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.

Akhiles Yadav's anger towards the Congress party hasn't seemed to ebb. The Samajwadi Party chief who has been severely critical of the Congress after the grand old party and the SP failed to stitch an alliance for the Madhya Pradesh assembly

Samajwadi Party (SP) Chief, Akhilesh Yadav, continued his attack on the Congress after the SP failed to strike an alliance with the party in Madhya Pradesh.
