Who will ally with Congress if it behaves like this, asks SP chief

Samajwadi Party (SP) president Akhilesh Yadav on Friday attacked the Congress by questioning the credibility of the grand old party. Mr. Yadav said that soon after the Madhya Pradesh seat sharing negotiations failed, he came to realise that the newly formed Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) Opposition bloc is only intended for the 2024 general election.

Mr. Yadav cautioned the INDIA bloc parties that if elections would be fought with such a confusion, it would not result in success as the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is a very organised party.

“INDIA alliance is for India’s elections, talks will be held when the country’s elections come. The BJP is a large and very organised party, hence there should not be any confusion in any party to compete with it. If you contest elections with confusion, you will not be successful,” said Mr. Yadav, while speaking to reporters in Shahjahanpur.
