00:00 In a significant development on Wednesday, Samajwadi Party Chief Akhilesh Yadav confirmed
00:07 that the alliance between the Samajwadi Party and the Congress Party is indeed on track
00:12 for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections under the banner of 'India Ahead'.
00:17 Yadav made this announcement on February 21st, assuring reporters that the much-anticipated
00:23 alliance and seat-sharing arrangement would be officially disclosed in a matter of hours.
00:29 He expressed confidence in the success of the negotiations, stating and I quote,
00:34 "All is well that ends well."
00:37 All is well that ends well.
00:40 What do you think?
00:41 Are you sensible?
00:42 Will there be a cutback?
00:44 There is a controversy over seat-sharing.
00:46 There is no controversy.
00:48 Everything will be clear in front of you very soon.
00:51 Congress Charge Pandey has said for BSP that the door is closed for them.
00:55 This is all old news.
00:56 Have you closed the door?
00:57 You are telling me such old things.
00:59 What did I tell you?
01:00 Ask me such good questions.
01:01 I have given such good answers.
01:02 You have made a mistake.
01:03 And you can take everything out of that.
01:05 Your party has been cut off.
01:06 You have made a mistake.
01:07 You can take everything out of that.
01:09 This announcement comes amid Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Joro Nyaya Yatra in Uttar Pradesh,
01:15 a journey that aims to connect with the people of the state.
01:19 Akhilesh Yadav has refrained from joining the Yatra until the seat-sharing agreement is finalised.
01:25 Earlier, the Samajwadi Party had proposed 17 seats for the alliance,
01:30 but the Congress had not accepted the offer.
01:33 However, Yadav dismissed any conflicts,
01:36 assuring reporters that everything would soon be clarified.
01:40 Sources indicate that Varanasi, a prominent constituency represented by PM Narendra Modi,
01:46 will be conceded by the Samajwadi Party to the Congress.
01:49 While the formal announcement on seat-sharing is still pending,
01:53 it is believed that former minister Surendra Singh Patel,
01:56 fielded by SP from Varanasi, may withdraw in favour of the Congress candidate.
02:02 UP Congress Committee President Ajay Rai is speculated to be the likely contender for this crucial seat.
02:08 Following the finalisation of seat-sharing in Uttar Pradesh,
02:12 Congress-UP-in-charge Avinash Pandey and the Party State Unit President Ajay Rai
02:17 are scheduled to hold a joint press conference in Lucknow at 5pm on February 21.
02:23 As the countdown to the Lok Sabha elections begins,
02:27 Uttar Pradesh, with its 80 seats, holds immense significance in shaping the political landscape.
02:33 Both parties have engaged in intense negotiations to reach a consensus on seat-sharing,
02:38 especially considering that the Samajwadi Party had already announced candidates for several seats in the state.
02:45 It is worth noting that the Congress and the Samajwadi Party
02:48 had previously formed an alliance during the 2017 UP Assembly polls.
