“We can also form an alliance with any party with a secular ideology with an aim to defeat the BJP government in U.P.,” Mr. Yadav said.
Pragatisheel Samajwadi Party (PSP) president Shivpal Yadav on Wednesday said that his first priority is to form alliance with Samajwadi Party in the upcoming Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls but he did not rule out the possibility of a tie-up with other “secular” parties.
The PSP national president also claimed that the Samajik Pariwartan Rath Yatra that began on Tuesday in Vrindavan, Mathura, would conclude at the birthplace of the lord Rama in Ayodhya after going through 75 districts in the State.
“For the forthcoming U.P. State Assembly Elections in 2022, we would give first priority to Samajwadi Party. We can also form an alliance with any party with a secular ideology with an aim to defeat the Bharatiya Janata Party government in U.P.,” Mr. Yadav told reporters on Wednesday.
