To stop BJP, I am ready for alliance with SP: Shivpal

Gorakhpur: National president, Pragatisheel Samajwadi Party, Shivpal Yadav on Thursday said to stop BJP from coming to power again, he was ready for an alliance with SP, but on his own conditions.
“To stop BJP, we are ready to enter into an alliance with SP but with the condition that our party leaders would also get tickets. If this goes well with him (Akhilesh Yadav), we will come forward,” said Shivpal Yadav who was addressing a press conference after a brief halt at a hotel during his Parivartan Rath Yatra in Basti .
Shivpal, who parted ways from SP to form Pragatisheel Samajwadi Party following differences with Akhilesh just before 2017 elections, attacked the state and center BJP governments over a range of issues including lawlessness, inflation, unemployment and corruption but refrained from taking names of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
Sharing his party’s poll agenda, he promised free power up to three hundred units (on the lines of Delhi Government), job to one person from each family and interest free loan of five lakhs for start ups.
