Samajwadi Party President Akhilesh Yadav confirmed that the party was open to an alliance with the Indian National Congress in Madhya Pradesh as well as for the 2019 Lok Sabha Elections, The Economic Times reported.
The SP chief confirmed at a press conference that the party is open to an alliance, stating that the most important thing was the nation’s interest.
He also questioned the BJP government’s policies and efforts in the four years they have been in power, asking whether they’d accomplished any of the goals they’d set through steps like the implementation of GST and demonetisation.
About Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand assembly polls, Akhilesh said the SP will contest in those states.
If they (BJP) have a formula (for winning elections), we too have a formula to checkmate them. It’s not a question as to who is contesting against whom and how many parties are together. The matter pertains to the entire country and how to take it forward.Akhilesh Yadav, President, Samajwadi Party
