Political activity in Uttar Pradesh continues to intensify as parties refine strategies for the 2027 assembly elections. The Samajwadi Party (SP) and Congress have entered formal seat-sharing negotiations under the INDIA bloc alliance. Tensions have escalated following the appearance of posters in Lucknow, Amethi, Raebareli, and Sultanpur featuring images of Rahul, Sonia, and Priyanka Gandhi, which claim the Congress is entitled to 200 seats. While SP President Akhilesh Yadav has dismissed such claims as “fake” and emphasized “winnability,” some SP members have suggested that allocating 50 seats to Congress would be excessive. To inform their strategy, the SP has commissioned surveys in constituencies traditionally held by the Nehru-Gandhi family, such as the Rae Bareli-Amethi and Sultanpur belts, to assess the Congress party’s current electoral relevance and independent vote-catching ability. Internal divisions have emerged within the Congress, with some leaders advocating for the party to contest a much larger number of seats, ranging from over 100 to all 403 constituencies, or even running independently. Both parties are expected to form committees to finalize a negotiating formula.
