Mulayam against SP-Congress alliance, says won't campaign

Samajwadi Party patriarch Mulayam Singh Yadav today said he would not campaign for the SP and Congress alliance in the state for the State Assembly elections. He said he is completely against the alliance and he will not campaign for it.

He said this on a day his son and Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav and Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi held their first joint press conference in Lucknow and



held a road show displaying great bonhomie.

Mulayam, who had rejected the possibility of an alliance for the Assembly polls before being deposed as the party President by Akhilesh, said, Congress ruled the country for a long time and made it laggard. He said he always fought against the Congress. Mulyam Singh asserted that the Samajwadi Party is capable of contesting elections alone.
