On Alliance With The Congress, Akhilesh Yadav's Party Bowls A Googly | Read

The Samajwadi Party has named candidates for seven Uttar Pradesh seats that the Congress currently holds, and a senior leader of Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav's party said today that seat-sharing has not been finalised yet between the two parties. A formal announcement of their alliance for the UP elections was expected later today. There has so far been talk of the Samajwadi Party wanting to contest 300 of UP's 403 seats and allotting the rest to the Congress. But the party's Kiranmoy Nanda today said the Congress should ideally be given no more than 54 seats to contest.
