UP News: Political parties are announcing the names of their candidates for the Uttar Pradesh by-elections. In this sequence, many political speculations are being made about the alliance of SP and Congress in Uttar Pradesh. Meanwhile, the UP Congress state president has cleared the picture regarding the alliance during a conversation with ABP News. 

Taking a dig at the Bharatiya Janata Party, he said that this party only knows how to insult great men. Whatever happened in Lucknow today should not have happened. The BJP people must have sold JPNIC to some Gujarat businessman or they must be preparing to sell it.

Was Ajay Rai going to contest elections from Phulpur and Majhawan?

Samajwadi Party has announced the names of 6 candidates for Uttar Pradesh by-elections. Whereas Congress party had clarified that it is preparing to contest by-elections on 5 seats in Uttar Pradesh and the most important thing is that Samajwadi Party has announced the names of its 6 candidates on those seats on which Congress party had the highest claim. 

On this tug of war being seen over the by-election seats, the Congress state president clarified that we had proposed to contest on 5 seats in Uttar Pradesh. Samajwadi Party has announced the names of its candidates on 6 seats, we have informed our national leadership about this. Whatever decision the national leadership takes, it will be acceptable to us. 

On ABP News' questions whether you were also going to contest elections from Phulpur and Majhawan, from where Samajwadi Party has fielded its candidates, Ajay Rai replied that we had demanded 5 seats which included Majhawan and Phulpur. But we want to make it clear that we will fight the by-elections together and will work to defeat the Bharatiya Janata Party with full strength. The Congress state president said that coalition dharma is being followed from both sides.

Supported SP, JDU should break ties 

Supporting Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav's statement advising JDU, Ajay Rai said that absolutely, Akhilesh Yadav has said the right thing. If Nitish Kumar does not do this, then his condition can also be like JJP and PDP, so he should think about it. Whatever happened in Lucknow today should not have happened, Bharatiya Janata Party knows how to insult great men.
