00:03It seems as Akhilesh Yadav and the Samajwadi Party seeks distance from smaller parties,
00:10it is the Congress that is taking advantage of this situation and stepping in to make smaller coalitions.
00:17It seems that the smaller parties are now reaching out to the Congress Party.
00:22In fact, there have been meetings between Rahul Gandhi and many leaders of these smaller parties.
00:27The Samajwadi Party allies, as they were, are now courting the Congress,
00:32which has been demanding an equal share in the seats with the Samajwadi Party as far as the alliance is
00:39concerned.
00:40Now, small UP parties are in touch with Congress and Swami Pasad Maurya has met up with Rahul Gandhi,
00:46whereas Sanjay Chauhan has also met up with Rahul Gandhi.
00:49Pankaj Niranjan, who had established the Bhagidari Morcha,
