New Delhi, December 17
The BJP has said that the alliance between Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav and his uncle Shivpal Singh Yadav ahead of the UP elections was “another example of dynastic politics which people will reject”.
UP Deputy CM Keshav Prasad Maurya said the alliance would not have any adverse effect on the BJP’s prospects in the elections.
“The BJP will form the government in 2022 by winning more than 300 seats. Only the lotus will bloom,” he said. Meanwhile, the SP and Pragatisheel Samajwadi Party (Lohia) indicated that there would not be any problem over seat sharing with the leader of the smaller outfit saying he was ready for any “sacrifice”. Akhilesh indicated that seat sharing has been “almost decided”. — TNS
