Congress is contesting elections in UP in alliance with SP. Under this alliance, Congress will contest elections on 17 seats of UP, Congress will support SP candidates on the remaining seats. SP has just announced the names of its candidates on some seats, although Congress has not yet announced its candidates in UP.
Let us tell you that just three days after resigning from Samajwadi Party, former minister Swami Prasad Maurya had announced the formation of his party ‘Rashtriya Shoshit Samaj Party’ at Talkatora Stadium in Delhi. On this special occasion, a large number of Swamy’s supporters gathered at Talkatora Stadium, who raised their voice in the interest of Dalits and backward people. Former minister Swamy had resigned from the primary membership of Samajwadi Party and the post of MLC on February 20. When he was asked the reason for his resignation, he said that the party was discriminating against Dalits, hence he had parted ways.
