The Samajwadi Party and the Bahujan Samaj Party have agreed to an alliance ahead for the Lok Sabha elections, an SP leader said Saturday.
A formal announcement on the gathbandhan between the two key parties in Uttar Pradesh is likely later this month, SP’s national spokesperson Rajendra Chaudhary told PTI.
