| Thursday | 19th July, 2018

We feel there is space for a visionary leader like Akhilesh Yadav.”State Congress, however, acknowledged that Akhilesh and Kamal Nath might meet on Thursday evening. Speaking to TOI, SP national secretary Abhishekh Mishra said, “I have no information about our party president meeting Kamal Nath. The BSP chief is learnt to be pressing for a combined deal for all three poll-bound states — Rajasthan, MP and Chhattisgarh. Our party president is taking a long-term view of MP and trying to position SP for the future. The Rajasthan Congress, however, is not keen on an alliance with BSP.SP doesn’t have representation in the MP assembly, where BSP has four legislators.

Bhopal: Former Uttar Pradesh chief minister and Samajwadi Party national president Akhilesh Yadav will be in Bhopal on Thursday morning for a two-day visit and is likely to meet PCC chief Kamal Nath Are the two eying an electoral alliance? Congress has been holding talks with BSP supremo Mayawati for a tie-up ahead of the November assembly elections, though BSP officially denies this. The BSP chief is learnt to be pressing for a combined deal for all three poll-bound states — Rajasthan, MP and Chhattisgarh. The Rajasthan Congress, however, is not keen on an alliance with BSP.SP doesn’t have representation in the MP assembly, where BSP has four legislators. Talks with SP were nowhere on the horizon so far. Speaking to TOI, SP national secretary Abhishekh Mishra said, “I have no information about our party president meeting Kamal Nath. I know he will be in Bhopal for two days, meeting party leaders and workers. Electoral alliances don’t take place this way. Why should the SP national president meet Kamal Nath in Bhopal for an electoral alliance?” Mishra said Akhilesh’s visit is aimed at positioning SP as an alternative in the state.“UP and MP have family ties. A lot of people have families in both states and hence have first-hand knowledge about the workings of SP. Our party president is taking a long-term view of MP and trying to position SP for the future. It is not limited to just the assembly polls of 2018,” Mishra said, reminding that SP had seven MLAs in the MP assembly in 2008.“In 2013, we missed two seats by narrow margins,” he said, adding: “BJP seems to be in a bad position and the chief minister is postponing all local body elections. We feel there is space for a visionary leader like Akhilesh Yadav.”State Congress, however, acknowledged that Akhilesh and Kamal Nath might meet on Thursday evening. “There could be a meeting between the two leaders. Coming four months before the assembly elections, it means that discussions will be about politics in the state,” said state Congress media committee chairman Manak Agarwal. Akhilesh has already met former PCC chief Arun Yadav, sources in the party said.
