Bypolls to 10 Assembly seats INDIA bloc's 1st major test in UP since Lok Sabha gains

LUCKNOW: The unity and electoral performance of the INDIA bloc will be put to the test in bypolls for 10 Assembly seats in Uttar Pradesh.

After delivering an impressive performance in the recent Lok Sabha elections, securing 40 seats that halted the BJP's juggernaut, the opposition alliance will aim to present a united front against the ruling BJP in Uttar Pradesh. Despite their success, the saffron party fell short of a simple majority.

However, the two key INDIA bloc allies in Uttar Pradesh - the Samajwadi Party (SP) and Congress - are yet to finalise a seat-sharing agreement for the bypolls. The Congress has expressed interest in contesting five of the 10 seats, a proposal that the SP may not agree with.

Leaders from both parties emphasise their common goal of defeating the BJP and remain confident that they will contest the bypolls together.
