The President of Samajwadi Party Akhilash Yadav has denied to join the Rahul Gandhi Bharat Nyan Jodo Yatra as it enters Uttar Pradesh (UP) due to the unclarity of sharing of seats between his Samajwadi Party and Congress party. Meanwhile the SP has announced 11 more candidates for the upcoming LOK SABHA election. The SP President Akhilash Yadav says his party will only participate in Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Nyan Jodo Yatra if their party gets clarity of sharing the seats with the Congress Party for the following Lok Sabha election.
Negotiations regarding seat sharing are ongoing between Yadav, Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and Mallikarjun Kharge but a deal has not been finalized yet.
