Akhilesh Yadav Skips INDIA Bloc Meet: UP Poll Prep Or A Seat-Sharing Signal To Congress?

Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav’s decision to skip the INDIA bloc meeting in Delhi on September 30 has drawn attention amid unresolved seat-sharing discussions with the Congress for the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections. Yadav has cited pre-scheduled election-related engagements, while reports indicate that Congress-SP differences over the alliance formula remain a point of discussion. Tensions have also surfaced through public remarks by leaders from both parties. Yadav has maintained that the SP and Congress will contest the 2027 polls together, while the exact seat-sharing arrangement is yet to be finalised.
