SP’s tussle with Congress over seats
Tension has arisen in the relations between Samajwadi Party and Congress. In fact, Congress had reportedly assured SP that it would consider its candidates for six constituencies in Madhya Pradesh, but still it did not leave a single seat for its ally SP. Because of which Akhilesh Yadav has expressed his displeasure. Since then he has been continuously targeting Congress. For the assembly elections to be held on November 7 in Madhya Pradesh, both the parties have fielded candidates against each other on 18 seats.
‘PDA will defeat NDA alliance’
PDA means backward, dalit and minority. Akhilesh Yadav is emphasizing that the PDA will defeat the BJP-led NDA in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. In his post on Twitter, Akhilesh Yadav wrote, “2024 elections will be a revolution of PDA.” Let us tell you that after the list of Congress candidates for Madhya Pradesh Assembly elections was released on Thursday, Akhilesh Yadav had accused Congress of “fooling” other parties. He even hinted that if the Samajwadi Party had known that the alliance did not work at the state level, then it would not have been so open to the INDIA faction.
Question on Akhilesh’s continuation in INDIA alliance
Akhilesh said that Congress had assured to consider six seats. But while announcing the candidates he did not even think about SP. If he had known that there was no alliance between them in the state, he would not have talked to Congress about it. At the same time, when Madhya Pradesh Congress President Kamal Nath was asked about this, he shrugged it off by saying, “Hey brother, leave it Akhilesh Vakhilesh…” The state unit of Congress had emphasized that the INDIA alliance is at the central level. And his focus is on Lok Sabha elections.
