Intensifying buzz over seat-sharing ahead of UP elections: What will be the outcome of the 172-seat formula?

Political activity regarding seat-sharing between the Samajwadi Party (SP) and the Congress has intensified ahead of the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections. It is reported that the Congress has submitted an initial list of 172 seats to the SP. This list is said to be divided into four categories—A, B, C, and D—comprising both seats where the Congress is strong and others that are open for negotiation. The big question now is: will Akhilesh Yadav agree to this seat-sharing formula proposed by the Congress?
