The ruling Congress and its supporter Samajwadi Party are at loggerheads over the seat sharing in Uttar Pradesh for the next-year Lok Sabha elections at least on nine seats.
The negotiations between the two parties for an electoral understanding ahead of the polls have virtually come to a standstill after controversial SP general secretary Amar Singh unilaterally announced his party's candidates for 58 seats that irked the Congress leadership.
Speaking to Hardnews, the Congress general secretary incharge of UP Digvijay Singh has described SP's move as a pressure tactics and refused to succumb to it. The Congress president Sonia Gandhi has entrusted Singh, a former Madhya Pradesh chief minister with the responsibility of leading seat-sharing talks with SP representatives. UPCC chief Rita Bahuguna Joshi and Salman Khursheed assist Singh at the negotiation table.
