Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav has some advice for Congress in the run-up to the national elections - "take notes" from the BJP, which despite all ups and downs, has stuck to its allies. "They (the BJP) know that to come to power, you have to respect other parties. BJP is accepting alliances even at the cost of fewer seats... Despite all the pressures being exerted upon them, BJP still chooses them (allies)," the former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister told NDTV's Prannoy Roy.
