Akhilesh Yadav says alliance victory matters more than seat-sharing
- Amid public exchanges, Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav urged INDIA bloc members to prioritize collective victory over seat-sharing disputes ahead of the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections.
- Congress leaders sought at least 150 of the 403 seats, prompting SP MP Shiv Pal Singh Patel to publicly question the demand and suggest 50 seats as a significant allocation.
- Yadav reiterated on social media, "Baat seat ki nahi jeet ki hai," asserting that victory belongs to the alliance, not individual parties. He wrote, "The big thing isn't how many seats the alliance gets."
- Following public exchanges, Yadav instructed SP leaders to keep seat-sharing concerns internal. Congress officials maintained that final decisions will be made by top leadership, including Rahul Gandhi, Yadav, and Mallikarjun Kharge.
- The alliance's joint struggle aims to ensure that "sampradayikta phir kabhi sir na utha sake," with Yadav framing the effort as a defense of democracy, the Constitution, and reservation against communalism.
