Congress ends alliance with Samajwadi Party, to contest UP local body polls on its own
New Delhi: With the decision to align with the Samajwadi Party for the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections not yielding any dividends, the Congress party has decided to contest the Uttar Pradesh local body elections on its own.
Congress' UP chief Raj Babbar made the announcement after he along with Congress' UP in-charge Gulam Nabi Azad held discussions with party leaders from across the state.
Party candidates who won in the assembly polls, district level office bearers and other important leaders were consulted before the party top brass decided to not get into an electoral alliance with the Samajwadi Party.
