The Samajwadi Party has announced that it will not participate in the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, led by Rahul Gandhi, until the party finalizes its seat-sharing agreement with the Congress in Uttar Pradesh. Party chief Akhilesh Yadav made this announcement on Monday, stating that he will not join the yatra even though it will pass through Amethi and Raebareli, two important constituencies for the Samajwadi Party. Yadav’s decision reflects the ongoing negotiations between the Samajwadi Party and the Congress to determine the distribution of seats in Uttar Pradesh for the upcoming elections. As the yatra continues, Yadav’s absence will be noted, and it remains to be seen how this will impact the alliance between the Samajwadi Party and the Congress in the state.
