BREAKING: Akhilesh, Mayawati to fight 38 seats each in UP, 2 for Congress

Lucknow: Samajwai Party of Akhilesh Yadav and BSP of Mayawati will fight 38 seats each in Uttar Pradesh in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls leaving two for Congress, the leaders said at a press conference here. 

 

 

The two parties, considered as rivals in the political scenario of Uttar Pradesh, thus formed an alliance ahead of the Lok Sabha polls to fight their common enemy- the BJP.

Samajwadi Party (SP) leader Akhilesh Yadav and Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) supremo Mayawati announced this in a press conference at Lucknow’s Hotel Taj today.

Thus the two parties are coming together after 25 years. Earlier, Mulayam Singh Yadav and late Kanshi Ram of BSP had forged a tie decades ago.
