2024 LS polls: NCP to repeat its alliance with SP in state

LUCKNOW: The Sharad Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) will repeat its alliance with the Samajwadi Party (SP) in UP for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
The NCP had contested the Anupshahr assembly seat (in Bulandshahr) in alliance with SP in the 2022 assembly elections. The party’s UP in-charge and national general secretary, KK Sharma, had contested from Anupshahr seat on the NCP symbol but lost.
Undeterred by the loss, NCP has decided to keep the alliance for the Lok Sabha elections.
“We will go with the Samajwadi Party for the same reason that we had in the 2022 UP assembly elections, which is that SP is the main opposition party in UP. NCP will appeal to even Congress and BSP to come together with us to check BJP from coming to power,” said NCP national general secretary and UP in-charge KK Sharma.
