Samajwadi Paty chief Akhilesh Yadav on Wednesday hinted that his party's alliance with Congress is on track and the formal announcement will come very soon. The Congress may get 16-18 seats, sources said adding the official announcement could be made in Lucknow this evening around 5 pm. According to reports, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra seem to have played a crucial role in maintaining the alliance in Uttar Pradesh as she was the one who initiated the conversation with Akhilesh after having talks with Rahul Gandhi.
"All is well that ends well. Yes, there will be an alliance. There is no conflict. Everything will be out and clear soon," former Uttar Pradesh chief minister said on seat-sharing talks with the grand old party for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
According to the sources, Congress wants some changes in the proposal sent by SP. Congress wants changes in two or three seats out of seventeen offered by Yadav.
Congress has stepped back on its demand to contest on Moradabad seat and instead asked for three seats including Sitapur, Shravasti and Varanasi among others, they said.
Among other seats, Congress may now get Amroha, Bijnor, Saharanpur and Jhansi, while Mathura will go to SP, they added.
