The Congress party has handed over a list of constituencies to the Samajwadi Party, signaling intensified alliance negotiations ahead of the 2027 Uttar Pradesh assembly polls.
Congress has provided Samajwadi Party with a detailed list of assembly constituencies it is willing to allocate for a joint contest in the 2027 Uttar Pradesh elections.
The move is seen as a major step in alliance talks that have been ongoing since the last election cycle, with both parties aiming to combine their vote banks to challenge the ruling BJP.
Sources close to the negotiations said the seat‑sharing proposal covers key regions such as western and eastern Uttar Pradesh, but final agreement will depend on further deliberations and mutual concessions.
Political analysts note that a Congress‑SP alliance could reshape the state's electoral dynamics, potentially consolidating anti‑BJP votes, though internal calculations remain complex.
The parties are expected to meet in the coming weeks to finalize the arrangement before the official filing of candidates later this year.
