The Congress and Samajwadi Party may have welded an election alliance, but this marriage of convenience has not merged the hearts of the ground level workers of the two parties. Congress workers gripe that though the SP has posted its party flags wherever their candidates are contesting from, the workers are not allowing the Congress flags, and yet, the SP is posting its flags firmly in all those seats where the Congress is contesting. The Congress workers have informed the high command about this. But to assuage their sentiments, SP has pointed out to the fact that AkhileshYadav and Rahul Gandhi have held joint rallies where the slogan is: “UP likes this alliance”.
