Rahul Gandhi and Akhilesh Yadav
Lucknow: There is good news for the Congress in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly by-elections. There are indications that the Congress will get one more seat from the alliance. This is believed to be the result of Congressional pressure politics. Earlier, out of a total of nine seats up for the by-elections, the alliance offered only two seats to the Congress. Because of this, there was resentment in Congress. Then there are signs of change in the political environment due to the pressure policies adopted by Congress.
Directions to get a seat in Phulpur assembly
It is said that there was a conversation between Rahul Gandhi and Akhilesh Yadav and it is believed that the Congress could win an assembly seat from Phulpur. Although it is yet to be decided whether SP will leave Phulpur, the talks have been positive. It is believed that a decision on the matter can be made this afternoon.
Claimed a total of 5 seats
The Samajwadi Party has already given Congress seats to Ghaziabad and Khair; Apart from this, it can now also give seats to Phulpur. In fact, in the by-elections the Congress claimed a total of five seats. But Samajwadi Party has fielded a total of 7 candidates from its side. There was resentment in the Congress over this move by the Samajwadi Party. So far he only has two seats in his account.
Seats found in Ghaziabad and Khair
Congress said that no talks were held on the distribution of seats. However, Safa later handed over the Ghaziabad and Khair seats to the Congress. But Congress did not seem satisfied with this either. Later there was also news that the Congress will not participate in the UP assembly by-elections. Amidst all these things, the Congress has received an offer from the Samajwadi Party that it can offer a seat to Phulpur.
SP has already declared the candidate
However, the Samajwadi Party has already declared Mustafa Siddiqui as its candidate for the Phulpur seat. In such a situation, it is said that giving up this seat to the Congress can also cause losses to the alliance. If this seat goes to Congress and the candidate changes, the alliance may lose. Under these circumstances, the Congress has summoned Ajay Rai and Avinath Pandey to Delhi for brainstorming. Only Rahul Gandhi will take the final decision on whether to contest the by-elections or not.
