Swami Prasad Maurya Meets Congress Amid Tensions with Samajwadi Party Over 2027 Polls
Swami Prasad Maurya, leader of the Apni Janta Party, met with Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Rajendra Pal Gautam to discuss the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections. This has caused tension with the Samajwadi Party (SP), whose chief Akhilesh Yadav has excluded Maurya from the SP-led alliance and criticized his involvement. Maurya dismissed Akhilesh's objections, emphasizing his direct talks with Congress and questioning Akhilesh's leadership role within the INDIA bloc. Congress and SP continue seat-sharing negotiations amid these disputes.
