Setting the ball rolling, the first coordination meeting of the INDIA allies Samajwadi Party (SP) and Congress, held at the SP headquarters in Lucknow Monday, deliberated on their joint strategies and campaigns plans for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
During the Rajya Sabha elections for 10 seats in Uttar Pradesh, the Samajwadi Party suffered a setback as a section of its own MLAs cross-voted in favour of the BJP, helping the party pick an extra seat and leaving the SP with one less. The biggest surprise was the crossover by SP chief whip Manoj Kumar Pandey, the MLA from Unchahar Assembly constituency in Raebareli, who quit his post before apparently helping the BJP nominee, Sanjay Seth, win.
More than a week after the INDIA alliance partners Samajwadi Party and Congress sealed their seat-sharing agreement for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls in Uttar Pradesh, the Congress continues to be in the doldrums in the state.
With the alliance in place in Uttar Pradesh, the next challenge for the Samajwadi Party (SP) and the Congress will be ensuring coordination on the ground for the campaign and transferring votes to each other in the Lok Sabha polls.
While the outcome of the elections to the 10 Rajya Sabha seats in Uttar Pradesh Tuesday dealt a blow to the Samajwadi Party (SP), it also has ramifications for the Opposition INDIA alliance just ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha polls.
The Samajwadi Party (SP) was left embarrassed Tuesday after seven of its MLAs cross-voted in the Rajya Sabha polls, leading to the loss of one of its candidates.
The Samajwadi Party (SP) was dealt a huge blow on Tuesday even before the election to the 10 vacant Rajya Sabha seats in Uttar Pradesh got underway, after its chief whip Manoj Kumar Pandey resigned from his post.
The extended saga of the Opposition INDIA bloc’s seat-sharing talks in Uttar Pradesh, that saw the Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) switch sides to the NDA and senior partner Samajwadi Party (SP) announce its candidates before its seat-sharing deal with the Congress was concluded, was finally sealed last week.
