After weeks of tense negotiations and hard bargaining, the INDIA alliance partners Samajwadi Party (SP) and Congress finalised their seat-sharing pact in Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
In early January, the Congress high command decided that three of its senior leaders — Sonia Gandhi, Mallikarjun Kharge, and Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury — would skip the consecration of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya later that month. Though the party did not issue a diktat against its party workers and leaders attending the event, the political fallout of the decision has seen it make concerted efforts since then to ensure it is not seen as “anti-Ram” even at the risk of isolating ally Samajwadi Party (SP) in Uttar Pradesh. And this has also left its state unit divided.
Amidst the likely return of the Janata Dal (United)’s Nitish Kumar to the BJP and seat-sharing troubles in West Bengal and Punjab,the INDIA bloc found one bright spot on Saturday. Samajwadi Party (SP) President Akhilesh Yadav announced that his party was giving 11 Lok Sabha to the Congress in the coming polls.
In another sign of the frayed ties between the two INDIA allies amidst seat negotiations in Uttar Pradesh, Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav Wednesday indicated that he might not participate in Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, saying that “the Congress and BJP don’t invite me for their programmes”.
The confusion and differences within Congress over the Ram Temple consecration ceremony continue to spill into the open, with former party Faizabad MP Nirmal Khatri declaring on Tuesday that he had accepted the invite to attend the January 22 event.
A DAY before the start of the consecration rituals for the Ayodhya temple, senior Congress leaders of Uttar Pradesh arrived in the town to offer their prayers to the existing Ram Lalla idol at the once disputed site.
