The SP, which is part of the INDIA bloc, is currently engaged in seat-sharing talks with Congress. Former chief minister Akhilesh Yadav has offered 11 seats to Congress, which currently holds one seat in Uttar Pradesh. "With 11 seats, our harmonious alliance with Congress is off to a good start. This process will further progress with the equation of victory. INDIA's team and PDA's strategy will change the course of history," Yadav tweeted.

Yadav's announcement came amid widespread apprehension about the future of the INDIA Bloc, with West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee announcing that her All India Trinamool Congress (TMC) will contest the polls on its own, ruling AAP refusing to ally with the Congress in Punjab and Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar joined hands with the BJP once again and took the oath for the 9th time as CM.
