Amid a constant tussle between Samajwadi Party and Maha Vikas Aghadi over the seat-sharing formula for upcoming Maharashtra Assembly polls, SP chief Akhilesh Yadav has made it clear that there is no place for “sacrifice in politics”. If MVA doesn’t keep SP in alliance for Maharashtra polls, then the party will contest elections in seats where it enjoys public support in the state, Akhilesh Yadav told ANI on Sunday.
The SP supremo said that the party will contest on those seats where it will get votes or where the party workers are active among public. He also made it clear that Samajwadi Party will not contest on those seats which will harm the alliance.
“State (Maharashtra) president of Samajwadi Party will decide – at first we will try to be in alliance. But, if they (MahaVikasAghadi) won’t keep us in the alliance, we will contest on those seats where we will get votes or we have our organisation working there. We will contest on those seats which will not harm the alliance. But, in politics, there is no place for sacrifice,” ANI quoted Yadav as saying.
