If the alliance between the Congress and SP breaks, then it is advantage for the BJP. First it was Priyanka who tried for the alliance now it learnt that Sonia Gandhi has stepped in. The latest is that Akhilesh has been advised to bring down the number of seats for Congress. The congress alliance will not benefit for the SP it is rumored.
The question of alliance between SP and Congress in Uttar Pradesh is under consideration for very long time and in fact there was news that alliance is on and seat have been already declared. But now we are hearing that it is likely to break. It should not happen when they have come so close to some kind of political adjustment. They should not go back and keep the alliance alive,” NCP leader Majid Memon told .
Memon further said that forming alliance would be in the interest of all secular votes and secular parties.Meanwhile, Janata Dal (United) leader Sharad Yadav said that it was a personal matter of both the parties and he was not aware of anything regarding it.
“This was their internal matter. I am not aware of anything regarding this alliance,” Yadav told .
The speculation has been rife that the alliance between the Congress and the Samajwadi Party failed to take place over the matter of seat distribution, as the former was demanding more seats than the latter.
Samajwadi Party leader Naresh Agarwal said Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav was offering 100 seats, but the Congress was not ready for less than 120 seats.
