Akhilesh Yadav: SP-Congress alliance will continue, focus will be on victory not seats
May-19-2026

Samajwadi Party (SP) president Akhilesh Yadav said the alliance with its partners would continue in future elections, stressing that the formula will be ‘victory not seats.’ Akhilesh Yadav was asked if he and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi would campaign together in the upcoming elections. Yadav said ‘We have experience in forming alliances, and the Samajwadi Party has always secured benefits for its partners. We have never betrayed anyone. The alliance that exists today will continue ahead’. He said that future alliance discussions would not revolve around bargaining for seats but around ensuring electoral success.

Samajwadi Party chief added, 'There will not be a question of seats in the alliance. Even during the Lok Sabha elections, I had said that the issue was not about seats, the issue was about victory. The same formula will work again. The question will not be of seats, the question will be of victory. Asked about the party strategy to fight the BJP, Yadav said, ‘I will not disclose our strategy as we are fighting those who are very powerful people.’ The remarks assume significance amid talks on opposition unity and seat-sharing arrangements ahead of next year’s Uttar Pradesh assembly polls.
