Priyanka, Dimple Yadav appear on poster in UP
LUCKNOW : At a time when a pre-poll alliance between the Congress and Samajwadi ahead of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections seems to be a big possibility, poster bearing Priyanka Gandhi and state’s chief minister Akhilesh Yadav’s wife and MP Dimple Yadav picture on Friday emerged in Allahabad.
Talks for an alliance between the Congress and the Samajwadi Party faction led by UP CM Akhilesh Yadav were to revive after the Election Commission hearing on the Samajwadi Party’s election symbol.
However, the EC on Friday reserved its order in Samajwadi Party election symbol dispute case.The Commission told both the sides that a judgement will be delivered at the earliest as the process of filing nominations for the phase one of Uttar Pradesh assembly elections will begin on January 17.
Possibility of a Congress-Samajwadi Party alliance in poll-bound Uttar Pradesh brightened on Friday with the AICC declining to rule out such a tie up in the “highly evolving and rapidly transforming” scenario.
“We are neither agreeing, nor disagreeing with any of your speculation in the highly evolving, rapidly transforming minute-to-minute (scenario)…,” Congress spokesman Abhsihek Singhvi told reporters.
