LUCKNOW, May 20 -- Samajwadi Party (SP) president Akhilesh Yadav on Tuesday said the alliance with its partners would continue in upcoming elections, stressing that the focus remains on securing victory rather than merely distributing seats. Speaking at a media house conclave in Lucknow, he said his party has rich experience managing alliances and has always ensured that its partners benefit from the arrangement. "We have entered into many alliances. The Samajwadi Party has always ensured gains for its allies. We have never betrayed anyone. The alliance that exists today will continue ahead," he declared. When asked about jointly campaigning with Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, Yadav reiterated his commitment to the existing alliance framework, underscoring that the "victory not seats" approach would guide the partnership in future polls. Yadav's remarks assume significance amid discussions over opposition unity and possible seat-sharing arrangements for the assembly election in Uttar Pradesh due next year. In a message to his party leaders and workers, the SP chief urged them to maintain dignity and decorum in their language and conduct. Reiterating the importance of unity, he redefined 'Pichhde, Dalits, Alpsankhyak' (PDA) saying it also stands for 'Prem (love)', 'Daya (compassion)' and 'Apnapan (affection)'. Moreover, Yadav attacked the BJP government on the issues of rising inflation and the NEET paper leak. He claimed that distressed farmers, labourers, unemployed youth, and the common man are burdened by rising prices of petrol, diesel and cooking gas. The SP chief alleged that the BJP snatched reservation rights in the recruitment of 69,000 teachers and wronged Shiksha Mitras. Meanwhile, a delegation of PCS aspirants met the SP president on Tuesday. It handed over a memorandum regarding reforms in the UP Public Service Commission's examination system and the resolution of issues faced by the aspirants. Yadav extended his support and assured them if a Samajwadi government is formed in UP next year, these issues will be resolved on a priority basis....
