Sp-congress

The coming general election may throw some surprising results in Uttar Pradesh with the SP-BSP alliance now replaced by the SP-Congress pact under the INDIA bloc.

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.

Upbeat about his tie-up with Mayawati's Bahujan Samaj Party that he believes would pose a formidable challenge to the ruling BJP, Samajwadi Party boss Akhilesh Yadav today signaled that he was willing go out of his way for the sake of the alliance.

Cracks appeared in the ruling Samajwadi Party (SP) ahead of the Saturday vote count for the crucial state assembly elections, as a senior minister questioned the benefits of aligning with the Congress.

As chief minister Akhilesh Yadav seeks to be re-elected in Uttar Pradesh, will his Samajwadi Party's strategic alliance with the Congress help him in his bid? Yes, if the state votes like it did five years ago in the assembly elections of 2012. No, if it votes the way it did in the 2014 general elections.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi targeted the Samajwadi Party-Congress alliance for not taking action against controversial minister Gayatri Prajapati, who is facing arrest in a rape case.

BJP President Amit Shah today said the UP election was about changing the fate of the state which has been caught in a tug of war between 'bua-bhatija' Mayawati and Akhilesh Yadav.

As leaders of all major parties are channelising their energies in campaigning for the last three phases of polling in Uttar Pradesh, an army of volunteers from SP and Congress is reaching out to voters with a personal letter from Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav.

Rebels challenging official party nominees on many seats in Uttar Pradesh might queer the pitch for the Samajwadi Party (SP). The bitter family feud in the Yadav family which created bad blood among workers at grassroot level also left them confused as to whom to back. Many leaders close to Shivpal Yadav's camp were denied tickets and new faces wer...

The people of Uttar Pradesh have decided to ensure the victory of their "own daughter" rather than the "adopted son" in the ongoing state Assembly polls, BSP supremo Mayawati said today.

Samajwadi Party patriarch Mulayam Singh Yadav might be on the sidelines in the party, but his personal prestige is at stake in Lucknow Cant and Jaswantnagar seats, being contested by his 'choti bahu' Aparna and brother Shivpal respectively.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today slammed the ruling Samajwadi Party for its pre-poll alliance with Congress, likening it to a movie in which rivals befriend each other after the "interval".

BSP chief Mayawati expressed satisfaction over the polling trend in the second phase of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls today, saying it indicated that her party was surging towards getting a majority.

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan today made a scathing attack on Azam Khan, saying he would have to take a bath if he even utters Samajwadi Party leader's name.

Polling was held in 73 assembly constituencies in western Uttar Pradesh on Saturday in the first of seven phases of what is billed as a semi-final before the 2019 national election. A turnout of 64.2 per cent was recorded, 3 per cent better than that registered in 2012 state elections. The pressure is on the BJP which swept the region in the 2014 n...
