The Uttar Pradesh leg of senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra will be curtailed by a few days, with party insiders saying the march is likely to culminate at least a week earlier than planned.
Amid the tumult in the INDIA bloc, with the JD(U) walking out in Bihar and the Trinamool Congress (TMC) and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) ruling out alliances in West Bengal and Punjab, respectively, the Samajwadi Party (SP) sprang a surprise when its chief Akhilesh Yadav apparently unilaterally announced Saturday that the party would give the Congress 11 Lok Sabha seats in Uttar Pradesh.
While the INDIA alliance recorded its first success in seat-sharing talks in Uttar Pradesh on Friday, with the Samajwadi Party (SP) and the Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) reaching an agreement, the main challenge remains a pact between the SP and the Congress and how this develops in the coming days will be closely tracked.
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”.
Barely a couple of months before the Lok Sabha elections and just over a month after the Congress was decimated in the Assembly elections in three heartland states, Rahul Gandhi will kickstart his Manipur to Mumbai Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra from Thoubal near Imphal on Sunday.
