By-elections will be held on 10 assembly seats
By-elections are to be held on 10 assembly seats of UP, for which all the parties have made preparations. SP has not declared candidates on the other four seats, hence discussions are going on about alliance with Congress. Let us tell you that in the by-elections, Congress had demanded five seats from SP, but from the announcement of candidates on six seats, it has become clear that SP has refused to accept the Congress formula.
Importance of familyism in SP list
