In the run-up to the Lok Sabha Elections 2024, Samajwadi Party chief and former Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh Akhilesh Yadav has supplied 17 seats to Congress. While Akhilesh Yadav confronted a setback after Jayant Chaudhary-led Rashtriya Lok Dal joined the BJP-led NDA, he has now supplied some essential seats to Congress. The SP was earlier keen to present 10-11 seats to Congress which it has revised to 17. While the Congress is but to simply accept the provide and Yadav is prone to meet Rahul Gandhi right this moment to debate the alliance, let’s inform you the technique behind the SP providing 17 seats to Congress.
Which Are These 17 Seats?
The Samajwadi Party has supplied Amethi, Raebareli, Varanasi, Baghpat, Gautam Buddh Nagar, Ghaziabad, Fatehpur Sikri, Hathras, Kanpur, Amroha, Saharanpur, Bulandshahar, Jhansi, Sitapur, Maharajganj, Kaisarganj and Barabanki to the Congress.
Why Only These 17 Seats?
These are the seats the place the Samajwadi Party has both by no means received or received only some instances. The Samajwadi Party has by no means tasted victory on seats like Amethi, Raebareli, Varanasi, Baghpat, Gautam Buddh Nagar, Ghaziabad, Fatehpur Sikri, Hathras and Kanpur. The SP has received Amroha, Saharanpur, Bulandshahar, Jhansi, Sitapur, and Maharajganj simply as soon as whereas it received Kaisarganj 5 instances and Barabanki two instances.
Shooting Two Birds With An Arrow
By providing 17 seats to Congress, Akhilesh Yadav has shot two birds with an arrow. First, it’s got rid of the seats the place it is weak and second, it has fulfilled the duty of allocating a good variety of seats to Congress regardless of the latter’s low winnability fee. The Congress and Samawadi Party are a part of the INDIA bloc. The problem for Akhilesh Yadav was that it needed to devise a plan for these weak seats the place there’s a low probability for the SP to win. Thus, by allocating them to the Congress, he has put the grand outdated social gathering in a potential repair. If Congress manages to win these seats, then it will likely be good for the social gathering but when loses them, then SP will accuse it of turning irrelevant in state politics. Akhilesh has additionally made it clear that he will not be a part of Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra till the Congress finalizes the seat-sharing deal.
