Akhilesh Yadav made a big claim
Akhilesh Yadav said in the post, “It’s not about winning the seat.” Under this strategy, the joint candidates of the ‘Indian Alliance’ will contest the elections in the 9 seats of the Samajwadi Party’s symbol, the ‘Cycle’. Congress and Samajwadi Party are united and shoulder to shoulder to achieve a big victory. The Indian Alliance is going to write a new chapter of victory in these by-elections. With the union of the top leaders of the Congress Party with the booth workers, the power of the Samajwadi Party has multiplied. With this unprecedented cooperation and support, every ‘Indian Alliance’ worker is filled with new energy with the determination to win all 9 assembly seats.
He further wrote: ‘This is an election to save the country’s constitution, the harmony and honor of the PDA. That is why our call is: not a single vote should be reduced, nor a single vote divided. This harmonious unity and solidarity of the ‘Indian Alliance’ in the interest of the country will write a new history today and tomorrow too.
What is the significance of this Akhilesh ad?
As feared, the Congress Party refused to participate in the by-elections because it did not win the seats it wanted. According to sources, the Congress Party did not want to gamble on the lost seat, Akhilesh Yadav had left the Ghaziabad and Khair seats for the Congress, which all political pundits and the Congress Party considered almost unwinnable seats because the BJP had been winning both seats many times.
According to sources, this is a face-saving formula for the Congress party in which even the snake dies and the stick does not break. That means that even if you don’t participate in the elections, you will still maintain your importance. The Congress Party knew that Ghaziabad Sadar and Khair seats were the most difficult for it and that is why the Samajwadi Party had left these two seats for the Congress.
The Congress Party felt that instead of contesting both seats, it would be better to leave them only to the SP. The state leadership of the Congress Party had already indicated that if it does not win seats like Phulpur and Meerapur it will not contest the elections. Akhilesh Yadav refused to give up these two seats because both are winnable seats for the opposition.
According to sources, in the recent talks between Akhilesh Yadav and the Congress, it was decided that the Congress Party will not contest the elections and the SP will field its candidates in all seats. After this, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav took over a long tenure. on Twitter.
Akhilesh spoke to Rahul Gandhi
According to sources, there was an argument over the seat between Rahul Gandhi and Akhilesh Yadav on Tuesday night. The SP is also ready to leave the Phulpur seat for the Congress, but the final decision has to be taken by the Congress Party’s top leadership. For example, the issue is also getting stuck regarding Ghaziabad seat where by-elections will be held in Ghaziabad Sadar seat. The Congress party is in no mood to contest elections from this seat too.
