    SP hurt itself with Cong alliance: Amit Shah
  • BJP chief Amit Shah said Samajwadi Party had hurt itself by offering 103 seats to the Congress, which has no presence in Uttar Pradesh.

    He said BJP, the "strongest contender", has different "chief rivals" in each constituency.

    Shah rejected allegations of copying from the SP manifesto and polarizing voters on communal lines. He was also confident of winning in Uttarakhand, but non-committal about Punjab.

    SP, Congress finally seal a deal

    SP, Congress finally seal a deal
  • After months of bargaining, Samajwadi Party and Congress sealed a pre-poll pact to contest the Uttar Pradesh assembly elections, ending days of suspense.

    The two parties have come together in order to thwart BJP's attempt to storm back to power after a 15-year gap.

    SP will have the larger share of 298 of 403 seats, while Congress will contest the remaining 105 seats.

  • The Samajwadi Party-Congress alliance was said to be materialized after Congress President Sonia Gandhi intervened.

    One of the reasons for the delay in the announcement of the alliance was reportedly Uttar Pradesh CM Akhilesh Yadav's unhappiness over Congress sending "light-weight emissaries" like the election strategist Prashant Kishor for talks.

    However, later, senior Congress leaders got involved and salvaged the deal.

  • According to UP political analysts, the alliance will help SP and Congress consolidate the minority vote against other parties and throw a massive challenge to BJP.

    Finding an ally in SP gives hope for Congress, which had lost its stronghold in UP.

    Alliance with a national party would make SP a serious contender for power.

    The deal might be a bad news for BJP.

  • Hardening his stance against the SP-Congress alliance, SP supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav asked party workers to contest from all 403 seats in the state, saying "The alliance does not serve the interests of the SP."

    He said the alliance would "harm the long term prospects of the SP."

    He also said it would give the Congress a chance to win back minority-voter confidence.
