Ignoring Us Dangerous": Congress On Akhilesh Yadav-Mayawati Alliance

[reality]

Lucknow : 

The Congress that has been left out of the proposed alliance between Akhilesh Yadav and Mayawati in Uttar Pradesh for the Lok Sabha polls has sent out a stern message to the two UP politicians, saying ignoring the party would be a "dangerous mistake".

Mayawati's BSP and Akhilesh Yadav's Samajwadi Party have decided to contest the 2019 elections together in alliance. The main purpose for the alliance, they say, is to stop the BJP from scoring a landslide win in the state. The Congress was also in talks with the leaders for an alliance in the state. But they decided to leave the party out. They are leaving only two seats for the Congress to contest the polls on -- Amethi and Rae Bareli, which have been Nehru-Gandhi family's bastion.

Congress spokesperson Abhishek Manu Singhvi today warned of consequences if his party is left out of the coalition.
