Congress-sp Alliance

Uttar Pradesh, which had accounted for a lion's share of the BJP's tally since 2014, has proved to be a tough challenge for the party in the 2024 election.

BJP will repeat its 2014 Lok Sabha electoral success and form a majority government in Uttar Pradesh, Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said tonight.

Congress today dismissed Prime Minister Narendra Modi's charge that the party had made a bid on Mulayam Singh Yadav's life, saying the word 'murder' was synonymous with Modi and BJP chief Amit Shah.

Standing in a long line of voters, Barkat Ali says his choice has been decided by one issue: Prime Minister Narendra Modi's sudden demonetisation move that pulled 86 per cent of the cash in circulation in one go.

If the BJP had planned a royal vs royal battle for the Amethi assembly seat in Uttar Pradesh, it could well get that even after the Samajwadi Party announced that its Gayatri Prajapati would contest the seat and not a Congress candidate. The Congress' Ameeta Sinh, who hoped to be fielded, has said she will contest as a rebel candidate.

Amidst indications that Samajwadi Party leader and Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav is warming up to the idea of an alliance with the Congress, Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee President Raj Babbar today said his party will contest alone in the state and described such talks as "hypothetical".
