Akhilesh Yadav's Samajwadi Party disclosed its third list of candidates for the Lok Sabha elections, assigning contenders for five seats, including Varanasi, PM Narendra Modi's constituency. The move followed SP's final offer of 17 seats to Congress, up from 11, amidst negotiations. The total candidates announced by SP now stand at 32. Congress, seeking more seats, is yet to respond. In 2019, Congress contested solo in Uttar Pradesh, securing only one seat. With talks unsettled in key states like Bengal and Maharashtra, the political landscape remains uncertain ahead of the elections.
