Bhopal: A question mark has also been placed on the Congress's plan to form a coalition to take the BJP from the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati and the Samajwadi Party (SP). SP invites applications from candidates for Madhya Pradesh assembly elections on Wednesday.

BSP, too, had almost walked out of the Mahagathbandhan by releasing a list of 22 candidates for the year-end assembly polls.

As part of Madhya Pradesh's tour of Madhya Pradesh, SP chief Akhilesh Yadav, whose party enjoys support in MP districts belonging to the UP Border, Shahdol on September 29 and Balaghat on September 30. Former Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Gondwana Gunantantra Party (GGP) President Hira Singh Markum GDP has great support in tribal pockets, including Shahdol and Balaghat.

According to sources, just like the BSP remained adamant on 30 to 35 seats during the alliance talks with Congress, the SP to has sought 10 to 15 seats which the Congress is not willing to part with.

But Madhya Pradesh Congress President Kamal Nath has repeatedly maintained that the Congress is expecting a grand alliance with other MPs of the MPs to stop the split of anti-BJP votes. Amidst all this, Akhilesh Yadav has expressed his willingness to contest elections in all the 230 seats in MP.

The Samajwadi Party’s willingness to venture into MP politics in a full-fledged manner can be gauged from the fact that the party, since its inception, has primarily been a regional force and in early January Akhilesh had made public his national ambitions.

The SP had drawn a blank in the 2013 MP assembly polls with less than 0.1 per cent vote. Its best outcome was recorded in 2003 when it garnered 2.5 per cent votes and clinched seven seats.
