Congress victory upsets SP, BSP poll arithmetic

Lucknow, Dec 13 (UNI) Nearly three decades after the emergence of caste based identity politics in Uttar Pradesh and the gradual rise of the regional parties like Samajwadi Party and Bahujan Samaj Party that led to the decimation of the Congress, the success of the grand old party in the three states of Hindi hinterland in the recent Assembly poll has threatened to unsettle the poll arithmetic of both regional parties in the state.
Before the Assembly polls in MP, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh, both parties had stated that they were not interested in accommodating Congress in the grand alliance in UP for the 2019 Lok Sabha polls. Besides the SP and BSP, Rashtriya Lok Dal, Nishad Party and Peace Party are the other constituents of the alliance.
The SP had offered only two seats —Amethi and Rae Bareli to the Congress, even after forging an alliance in the 2017 assembly polls with the Congress and both regional parties adopted strident postures against the Congress.
