However, being an alliance partner, it has announced to support SP. After this decision of congress, 30-year-old history seems to be repeating itself in UP. The difference is that at that time congress was contesting the elections and SP did not field any of its candidates.
congress has announced not to contest the elections while supporting its alliance partner Samajwadi Party. But this renunciation is not new in the history of politics. hindi newspaper amar Ujala has told the story of this relationship of SP-Congress by referring to a 30-year-old news. According to the news, in the year 1993, assembly elections were held in nine states of the country. Then SP had supported the congress party against BJP.
Then SP had supported Congress
According to the news, congress party was in the fray against bjp and Samajwadi party had not fielded its candidates. However, at that time SP had refused to form an alliance with congress or any other political party. During this time, kapil dev Singh, who was the principal general secretary of SP leader, had indicated cooperation with congress in Delhi, Rajasthan, madhya pradesh and Himachal Pradesh, so that bjp could be defeated. Let us tell you that in UP, congress has not fielded a single candidate in the by-election. congress has announced to support SP on all nine seats. The reason behind this decision of congress is believed to be not getting the desired seats in the alliance. congress wanted to contest the elections on Majhawan and Phulpur seats, but SP had left only ghaziabad and Khair seats. congress believed that its organization is weak on these seats, so it would be better if it does not contest the elections.
