The Congress party had contested the 2017 elections along with the Samajwadi Party. Then the face of Rahul Gandhi was put forward. The pairing of Rahul and Akhilesh was widely publicized as a pair of two boys. But the alliance was unsuccessful in taking on the BJP and fell apart after being reduced to only 47 seats.
Akhilesh Yadav did not show interest in taking Congress along this time and formed an alliance with parties like Subhasp, RLD. During the election campaign, Priyanka Gandhi had indicated that her party could extend support to the SP if needed. However, the BJP seems to be single-handedly forming the government and the SP will not need the support of the Congress.
