Claims of victory in UP and a massive uproar over the alliance—could the greed for seats prove costly for the SP and Congress?

Claims of victory in UP and a massive uproar over the alliance—could the greed for seats prove costly for the SP and Congress?

Will the Samajwadi Party and Congress contest the 2027 Uttar Pradesh elections in an alliance? While an announcement may have already been made, the reality on the ground tells a different story; leaders from both parties cannot seem to stop taking digs at each other. A recent statement by Congress MP Imran Masood has sparked a debate; he remarked that Akhilesh’s face holds no significance in the UP elections. The SP has reacted furiously to this comment, dismissing it as absurd. Meanwhile, the BJP is taking a jibe at this verbal sparring between the SP and Congress, asserting that whenever the Congress has formed an alliance with another party, that party has invariably suffered losses.
