Uttar Pradesh : Decision on SP-Cong alliance in a day or two : Akhilesh Yadav

Lucknow, Jan 17 (IBNS) : A day after winning the Election Commission verdict over Samajwadi Party symbol, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav on Tuesday said the decision on electoral tie-up with the Congress will be taken in a "day or two," reports said.

"Decision on alliance  will be taken in a day or two,” he said while replying reporters' questions on the possibility of a grand alliance against the BJP.

Uttar Pradesh goes to elections in February for a seven-phase polling extending up to March.

The ruling Samajwadi Party faces a daunting task to hold the forte in the face of an aggressive campaign by the BJP and the Bahujan Samaj Party being a formidable traditional rival.

The prospects of the SP plunged into uncertainty more because of the vicious infighting that broke out barely three months beforsupe the elections with the organisation standing divided between two camps-Akhilesh and his father Mulayam Singh Yadav leading the warring factions.

However, with the support of majority of legislators and party workers behind him, Akhilesh is now expected to take full command over the party and lead it in the polls.

Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi  and Akhilesh Yadav have recently expressed signs of good feelings  by offering compliments to each other.
