Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav on November 7 claimed that the Congress wants the “Samajwadi ideology” to perish, but his party's resolve is to spread it further.
Mr. Yadav was talking to media persons after paying obeisance at Ramraja Temple in Orchha of Niwari district in Bundelkhand region of Madhya Pradesh where the Assembly polls are scheduled on November 17.
Asked about the SP and the Congress not forging an alliance for the Madhya Pradesh Assembly polls, Mr. Yadav said "we are in politics because our ideology is different from them. Due to some circumstances, we were with the Congress. But the Congressmen realised that there was no need of socialists. That's why we were turned away," the former Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh said.
