INDIA alliance is intact, those who want to leave alliance are free to go: Akhilesh Yadav
Lucknow: Samajwadi Party (SP) president and former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav has made an announcement regarding the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections. He confirmed that the SP will remain a part of the INDIA alliance and will contest the elections in alliance with its partners.
Speaking to the media on Tuesday, Akhilesh Yadav asserted that the INDIA alliance remains strong and intact. He expressed confidence that the alliance will play a crucial role in bringing political change to Uttar Pradesh and in ousting the BJP government from power.
“Our INDIA alliance is intact. Those who want to leave the alliance are free to go. But the alliance will fight the election together,” Akhilesh Yadav stated firmly.
His remarks come at a time when there are growing questions around the unity and strength of the INDIA alliance at the national level. However, Yadav's statement indicates that the opposition will continue to present a united front in Uttar Pradesh, aiming to challenge the ruling BJP in the 2027 elections.
It is worth noting that the Samajwadi Party had also contested the recent Lok Sabha elections as part of the INDIA alliance, alongside the Congress and other opposition parties.

Online fraud: Hotel chef from Udupi cheated of over Rs 1 lakh by WhatsApp contact
Udupi: Udupi City Police have registered a case of online fraud after a 62-year-old hotel chef was allegedly cheated of Rs 1.13 lakh by a woman who befriended him on WhatsApp, claiming to be based in London.
The victim, identified as Pandu Kariappa Poojary, a resident of Kuthpadi in Udupi, was working at a hotel in Mangaluru.
He reportedly came into contact with a woman identifying herself as Emilda William on WhatsApp. During their interactions, she told Poojary that she planned to start a cosmetics and hotel business in India and would meet him during a visit to Mangaluru.
On April 7, Emilda sent Poojary a flight ticket from London to Delhi via WhatsApp. The following day, Poojary received a phone call from a woman who informed him that Emilda had arrived at Delhi airport carrying a demand draft worth Rs 5 crore along with other items. The caller allegedly asked him to pay Rs 70,000.
Subsequently, Poojary also received a call from Emilda, who was reportedly crying and spoke about the situation. Believing the claims, he transferred a total of Rs 1,13,300 in phases using a scanner. He later realised that he had been cheated.
