Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav said that his Samajwadi Party would be open to an alliance with the Congress for the next general elections only if Mulayam Singh Yadav is projected as the Prime Minister and Rahul Gandhi as the Deputy Prime Minister.
Referring to Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi as his 'old friend', he said that his party would never form an alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Yadav further added that ‘He (Rahul Gandhi) is sitting here, you can ask him. He is a very good friend of mine’.
Ahead of Bihar assembly polls, the Samajwadi Party had walked out of the grand alliance in September, by the offer of only five seats against its demand for 12 in the assembly elections. As the desertion in Bihar raised the larger question whether the Janata Parivar would put up a united fight in Uttar Pradesh when it votes in 2017, JD (U) president Sharad Yadav had announced that the SP would be won back and kept on board.
