New Delhi: In the run-up to Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, the estranged chacha-bhatija have decided to bury their differences and come together for a collective fight against the incumbent BJP govt.
Samajwadi Party President Akhilesh Yadav on Thursday met his uncle at the latter’s residence and after a marathon meet decided to form a united front.
However, there are reports of a tie-up and not the merger of Shivpal Yadav’s party into the bigger Samajwadi Party. Speculations were rife that uncle would dissolve his party & merge with Akhilesh-led party but this didn’t happen.
प्रसपा के राष्ट्रीय अध्यक्ष जी से मुलाक़ात हुई और गठबंधन की बात तय हुई।
क्षेत्रीय दलों को साथ लेने की नीति सपा को निरंतर मजबूत कर रही है और सपा और अन्य सहयोगियों को ऐतिहासिक जीत की ओर ले जा रही है। #बाइस_में_बाइसिकल pic.twitter.com/x3k5wWX09A

Akhilesh Yadav himself took to Twitter to announce the alliance with Shivpal Yadav’s Pragatisheel Samajwadi Party.
As the election season hots up in poll-bound UP, Samajwadi Party is gaining momentum and has been stitching alliance with smaller parties to put up a strong front against Yogi Adityanath-led BJP government.
