Differences between Congress and SP deepen in Lok Sabha: Akhilesh Yadav raised questions on Rahul Gandhi’s party’s agreement with BJP, created a stir


During the Parliament session, a situation of differences and confusion has suddenly arisen between the main opposition parties—Congress and Samajwadi Party (SP). The lack of coordination between the two main allies within the Lok Sabha was clearly visible, due to which discussions have heated up in the political circles.

Akhilesh Yadav’s sharp attack and questions on the agreement

The matter heated up when SP chief Akhilesh Yadav raised questions on the working style of the Congress party. Referring to the context and political developments of the year 2017, he talked about the alleged internal agreements and nexus of Congress with BJP. After this statement, an uncomfortable situation arose among the leaders of both the parties inside and outside the Parliament House.

Big questions started being raised on opposition unity

This openly exposed tussle between the top leaders of the two major opposition parties has put a question mark on the upcoming strategies. Political analysts believe that instead of cornering the government on issues within the Parliament, infighting among themselves could cause a major blow to the unity of the Indi alliance.

Reaction from Congress

After this stance of the SP chief, there was panic in the Congress camp also. Although Congress leaders have tried to handle the situation by terming it a misunderstanding, Akhilesh Yadav’s tough stance has made it clear that the infighting and differences within the alliance run deep.
