Akhilesh Yadav said that Congress has submitted the list to contest on 181 seats in the UP Assembly elections. After Congress's claim on about 45 percent of the 403 assembly seats in UP came to light, a new discussion has started in the political circles. With this, the discussion has intensified in the political circles regarding the new political equation between SP and Congress regarding the 2027 assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh. SP President Akhilesh Yadav has claimed that Congress has expressed willingness to contest elections on 181 out of 403 assembly seats in UP.
There will be an important meeting of senior leaders of both the parties regarding the Assembly elections 2027 on November 17. SP President Akhilesh Yadav will also be present in this meeting. Leaders of both the parties will discuss the distribution of seats in the elections.
Let us tell you that Congress and Samajwadi had contested the 2024 Lok Sabha elections together as part of the INDIA block, in which they had won a total of 43 out of 80 parliamentary seats in Uttar Pradesh. Samajwadi Party emerged as the largest alliance partner in the state, securing 37 seats, while Congress won six seats. The BJP won 33 seats, a setback compared to its previous performance.
Before this, SP leader Akhilesh Yadav had already made it clear that the distribution of seats should not be done only on the basis of numbers. The party which has a strong candidate and better chances of winning an assembly seat should get priority. In such a situation, it will be important for both the parties to find coordination between the list of 181 seats of the Congress and the strategy that gives priority to the possibility of victory of the Samajwadi Party.
