Lucknow. During the assembly elections held in UP earlier this year, Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav had entered into an alliance with many parties with frills. Akhilesh had claimed that his government would be formed in UP. Government could not be formed. Now the allies are angry with the SP not being given a seat in the Rajya Sabha and Legislative Council elections. Mahan Dal’s president Keshavdev Maurya has left Akhilesh’s side. At the same time, Suheldev Bharat Samaj Party (SubhaSP) has expressed displeasure. Revati Raman Singh, outgoing Rajya Sabha member and veteran leader of Akhilesh’s party, is also angry. At the same time, uncle Shivpal Singh has also announced to single-handedly field his party Praspa in the civic elections.

National President of Samajwadi Party Mr. @yadavakhileshji’s decision today is definitely @SBSP4INDIA It is going to disappoint the workers of the party, if an ally wins 8 seats by fighting 38 seats, then he has no objection to Rajya Sabha, but we win 6 seats by fighting 16 seats, so why neglect us?

Let’s talk about the great team first. Mahan Dal President Keshavdev Maurya on Wednesday walked out of the SP alliance. He clearly said that Akhilesh Yadav does not listen and insults fellow parties. Keshavdev also expressed the pain of not being given the seats of Rajya Sabha and Legislative Council. After this, in the night, by tweeting on behalf of Subhasp, it was expressed displeasure over Akhilesh’s manner. Party spokesperson Piyush Mishra tweeted and expressed dissatisfaction over the way the ticket was distributed. Party President Omprakash Rajbhar also said that what Piyush has written is not wrong. Let us inform that Omprakash Rajbhar had said in the past that Akhilesh Yadav has got used to sitting in AC room.
Expressing displeasure, the allies exposed the rift in Akhilesh’s alliance. At the same time, close leaders also started expressing their displeasure. SP’s outgoing Rajya Sabha member Revati Raman Singh said that Akhilesh did not even talk to him, far from making him a candidate again. Revathi Raman said that all my colleagues have left the SP in protest, I respect them. At the same time, Shivpal Singh decided to contest the civic polls on his own in the meeting of district presidents of Praspa. It is being told that he also spoke to Mahan Dal President Keshavdev over the phone. Overall, Akhilesh’s pre-poll alliance seems to be moving towards breaking up. All eyes are on what Akhilesh does now to save it and whether the ruling BJP takes any advantage of this opportunity.
