Akhilesh Yadav On His Party's "Realistic" 350-Seat Aim In Uttar Pradesh

On the Pegasus snooping row, Akhilesh Yadav said this is a matter of national security and the government is helping foreign forces with such an action.

Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Sunday said doors of his party are open to all small parties for an alliance ahead of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls next year and he will try that all such political outfits come together to defeat the BJP. He also asked the Congress and the BSP, which have been attacking the Samajwadi Party (SP) on various issues, which side they are on. "These parties should decide whether their fight is with the BJP or SP," Mr Yadav told PTI. On possible alliances for the upcoming state polls, the SP president said, "Doors of our party are open for all small parties. Many smaller parties are already with us. More will come with us."
