Uttar Pradesh parties welcome Bihar development, but no sign of similar realignment against BJP in sight

The Hindu  

Opposition parties in Uttar Pradesh have welcomed the coming together of the warring Janata Dal and Rashtriya Janatah Dal in Bihar, but gave no indication of a similar realignment of forces against the Bharatiya Janata Party in the politically crucial State in the run-up to the 2024 parliamentary election. In the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, the SP formed a grand alliance with its arch rival Bahujan Samaj Party and the Rashtriya Lok Dal and fought the 2022 Assembly polls in alliance with the RLD and some other parties, but failed to dent the BJP's electoral supremacy in the State. SP seems uninterested in major alliances Mr. Choudhary of the SP, however, stressed that in Uttar Pradesh only the Samajwadi Party is capable of defeating the BJP. Uttar Pradesh BJP leaders sought to puncture the Opposition parties' euphoria after the Bihar development.
