New Delhi, Nov. 14 -- Samajwadi Party (SP) president Akhilesh Yadav on Saturday called the 'Samajik Parivartan Morcha', the alliance formed by AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi and Azad Samaj Party (Kanshiram) chief Chandrashekhar Azad, a "good thing" for the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections.

He said it would shift the debate from sentimental issues to basic issues.

Speaking to reporters, Yadav said, "It is good because people would not get carried away emotionally. The basic questions will be raised.

PDA stands for Pichhda (backwards), Dalit and Alpsankhyak (minority)...
