Akhilesh Yadav to strengthen party for 2024 Lok Sabha polls; no alliance with BSP, Congress

The Uttar Pradesh’s main Opposition party, the Samajwadi Party (SP) is focusing on strengthening its organisational structure in the run-up to the 2024 Lok Sabha election and is in no mood to form a coalition in the State with the other political parties such as the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) and the Indian National Congress (INC), due to the bitter experiences from the 2017 Assembly and the 2019 Lok Sabha polls. The SP believes that along with its existing smaller allies such as the Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) it is capable of defeating the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the 2024 election.

“The SP will fight the 2024 Parliamentary polls with its existing alliance partners and is capable enough to defeat the ruling BJP. The public mood is against the government. There is no question of any alliance with the BSP or the Congress,” said the Party’s chief spokesperson Rajendra Chaudhary.

“Confident of a good show”
