UP Bypolls 2024: Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav announced to contest by-elections on 9 seats in Uttar Pradesh, citing victory as a priority instead of seats. However, this decision is being considered very big for the Uttar Pradesh political arena because by 2024 Lok Sabha elections By fighting together, Samajwadi Party and Congress had increased the problems of BJP in UP.
On the basis of this result, claims were being made to form the government in the 2027 UP Assembly elections also. But after this announcement of the SP chief, discussion has started in the political circles whether the alliance of Samajwadi Party and Congress is just a formality.
Now the decision will be taken by the national leadership – Ajay Rai
While talking to ABP News regarding Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav's candidates contesting the elections with SP symbol on 9 seats in Uttar Pradesh by-election, Congress State President Ajay Rai said that the decision on this subject will be decided by our national leadership. The top leadership and senior leaders of the party will sit and discuss this topic. He will decide on contesting the elections. On the question whether you will field candidates on Congress symbol on some seats in the Uttar Pradesh by-elections, he replied that no. The top leadership of the party will take a decision on this subject.
Congress is not big enough to win even one or two seats.
Congress state president can meet senior party leaders in Delhi today on this issue. At present, discussions are also going on regarding the fact that on one hand the Congress party was claiming to contest 5 seats along with SP in the by-elections of Uttar Pradesh. At the same time, Samajwadi Party did not consider it necessary to give even 1-2 seats to Congress in the by-election which is considered as the semi-final of UP Assembly. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see what future picture emerges of this most prominent alliance at the state as well as national level.
