Lok Sabha elections 2019: Uttar Pradesh has 80 Lok Sabha seats, the highest for any state.
Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) leader Jayant Chaudhary met Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Tuesday, though both sides refused to share the details of the discussions.
Chaudhary approached the SP headquarters and met Akhilesh, both spoke for an hour, a senior SP leader said. Chaudhry later said, "We discussed present politics and future course of action and also about BJP's failures".
On reports suggesting that Akhilesh might be quizzed by the CBI in the mining scam, Chaudhary extended his support to Akhilesh and said, "Institutions are being abused (by the BJP government) and everyone is watching. I told Akhilesh, our party is with him."
He said that his party would get in the proposed SP-BSP alliance on the number of seats.
He avoided questions on the possibility of inclusion of the Congress in the alliance for the Lok Sabha polls.
Although no official word came from the SP and the BSP yet, the sources claimed that two political organizations in Uttar Pradesh would contest the 37 Lok Sabha seats. Uttar Pradesh has 80 Lok Sabha seats, which is the highest for any state.
On reservation of 10 per cent to economically backward sections in general category, Chaudhary said, "The BJP did not follow any of its announcements or promises."
